With VNC and Virtual Machines you can do some surprising things
nowadays.  For instance I can open a VNC-Connection to my rpi3b with
an arm64 Debian on my Windows 10 PC, open Geany there, and select the
text of an assembly language source file and copy it. Then I open
Virtualbox with a x86-64 Debian in Windows 10, open Geany there too,
and paste the source in.

Since I use as and ld on both machines, and macros for system calls
(which make the right conversion for each cpu in the background), I
can convert the source from arm64 to x86-64 very fast, and don't even
have to change the command-line options and libraries to use for the
tools to assemble and link them.
