I have placed a draft copy of a short document on using the AS65 assembler
for the C65 cross-compiler on the Aztec C Website at the following link.
http://www.aztecmuseum.ca/docs/Aztec64_AssemblerNotes_Aug201 3.pdf
I probably have many glaring errors in this document, and since I don't want
to provide incorrect information, I have decided to come to the experts
(you folks) and ask for necessary corrections.
The goal here is to make sure everything is documented as it works.
You will probably want to work a little with the assembler, but if you have
Windows 7 or 8 you will need VirtualBOX and FreeDOS. DOSBox works fine in
Vista and if you have saved a Windows XP Machine you can just use this as
is.
Some Unises like Ubuntu have MS-DOS emulators that will run this just fine
as well.
You can forward any corrections in PM if you don't wish to post them. Or go
ahead and post them.
I haven't looked at this in several years now, but it still works nicely,
and it's nice to know that a 30 year old compiler is still alive and well.
Just as an aside, I recently began to port some floating point routines from
the Apple II DOS 3.3 native mode version of this compiler (which has long
been superceded by several newer versions) and I will likely supplement the
floating point math routines with additional functionality shortly.
There seems to be a renewed interest lately in everything from differential
equasions to randomization using floating point values, so I thought I'd add
everything I could port and beef-this up a bit.
If anyone else has a copy of the original MS-DOS disks, I would still like
an undamaged set of disk images so I could complete this with the missing
bits and reduce my dependency on borrowing tools from other Aztec C
cross-compilers of this vintage.
The manual would be appreciated as well.
All the best,
Bill Buckels
