Code:
- Code on Hackerbun Gitea (https://code.hackerbun.dev/TheIndustriousRabbit/amiga-bsdsocket-coding/src/branch/main/client_in_asm) - Includes the code in both assembler and C
Tools:
- AsmPro 1.18 (http://aminet.net/package/dev/asm/AsmPro1.18src) - Install this first
- AsmPro 1.19 Update (http://aminet.net/package/dev/asm/ASMPro1.19) - Then install this update
- fd2pragma (http://aminet.net/package/dev/misc/fd2pragma) - You might get fd2pragma from other developer tools. This one is likely better than those other ones.

- Asm-Editor (https://asm-editor.specy.app/) - Web-based 68000 assembler
- 68k.hax.com (http://68k.hax.com/) - A non-https site with 68k instruction information, so you can browse it on your Amiga
- m68k-instructions-documentation (https://github.com/prb28/m68k-instructions-documentation) - All 68000 instructions as well as info on Amiga custom chip registers
BSD Socket Library:
- FD file for bsdsocket.library (https://github.com/cnvogelg/amitools/blob/master/amitools/data/fd/bsdsocket_lib.fd) - You can also find this in the AmiTCP SDK
