You use the editor with a few added routines such as search, renumber, delete. Instead of saving the file with the line numbers, it just writes it as a sequential file with no line numbers so an alternate way to renumber the program would be to save it and load it in again. I like the way it stores the programs since I can easily upload them to our Cyber and send it off to the laser printer. My main gripe about that particular assembler is that you have to invoke the editor, and then load and run the assembler and then load in a program that loads in your program. It creates an object file that is in some weird format so you need the loader to put it into the memory. The documentation is adequate, at least, it is if you already know how to program in 6502. It gives no tips for actual program writing (although I imagine that most programs don't). It DOES give you two monitor programs - one to load into $8000 and one to load into $C000 so that you don't have to worry as much about the program taking up the same memory as the program. One other thing, the assembler doesn't have quite as many pseudo-ops as the PAL assembler, which is the only other 64 assembler I am familiar with. I don't believe it allows the < and > options. -- Mark Wutka Office of Computing Services Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta, Ga. ...!{akgua,allegra,amd,hplabs,ihnp4,masscomp,ut-ngp}!gatech!gitpyr!wutka ...!{rlgvax,sb1,uf-cgrl,unmvax,ut-sally}!gatech!gitpyr!wutka Official member of NERDS (NERDS Existing in a Recursively Defined System)
