what does the program do that needs converting
The BAS800 programmer is still available but the Basic to Assembler converter is not a universal panacea and may not support what you need. It is designed for educational puropses only and supports only a limited range of PICAXE commands and functions.
Alternative programmers are not supported by the Programming Editor and the Basic to Assembler converter is only available when the BAS800 programmer is connected.

serial i/o converts fine,interupts might be interesting,
if it's not for a school project, i'd be more than happy to convert it for you to ASM , i've got several compilers at my diposal including one of my own making
if want you can post the code and what pic it's intended and we'll see how the compiler goes

Hmm... reason I ask about serial in/out is because I had read the following on the Picaxe Technical FAQ (main page):
"Can I see the assembler code that is downloaded into the PICAXE?
If you own a Revolution Serial PIC Programmer, you can convert PICAXE BASIC programs into assembler code, to program blank PICs or to just learn how assembler code works by 'disassembly'. However some of the more complex commands (e.g. serin) are not supported, and the assembler code program generated is optimised for sequential learning (not optimised for compactness as with the PICAXE system) and so the code is not identical to that downloaded to the PICAXE."
I'll see if I can get that code to you and see how those compilers of yours handle it (need to make a few tweaks). I like the advertised feature of the Picaxe software where it adds a comment (orig Basic code) to each translated Assembly code. Does your compilers do this too... this certianly would help dechiper the translation between Basic and Assembly.

one of the ones i got recently does ,it gives you the basic code in comments

In post No6 I was checking that I could offer a simplistic version of that made by demonicpicaxeguy.
Could that post be moved to the software section?

I have actually been looking around lately as more and more of the applications I am building are verging on "commercial" use (ie for work). As the Rev Ed compiler has a "Non Commercial Use" license (and I can't find out where to pay for it if you do want to use it for commercial purposes) I have even been looking at the SX chip from the dark side.
I started mucking around with PIC ASM but I think RF engineers were really born to use basic...

Commercial use of Programming Editor is allowed
What you cannot do is distribute the Programming Editor with your product.
What you can do is use the Programming Editor to develop the code which goes inside the PICAXE which is part of your product.

There is no non-commercial use license in the way you have interpreted it. It is not as entirely clear as it could be but Rev-Ed have clarified what the license means -
