- The DBDIR routines demonstrate how to call an
- assembler subroutine from dBASEII. There are a number of
- restrictions! Briefly, you can load an assembler routine
- above location A400 hex, as long as you don't do any sorts!
- You have available to you the memory space from A400 hex to
- the top of your TPA (on mine it is E400 hex, on a 64K
- system).
-
- The following files are required:
- - dbdir.cmd
- - asciidec.cmd
- - dbdir.asm
-
- The .asm file is Z80 code which was assembled using
- M80/L80, and does a not very efficient method of getting the
- directory entries, but it works.
-
- Hope this helps explain a not too well documented
- command in dBASE. Any comments concerning these routines
- can be left on this BBS, and if you make any wonderous
- enhancements, and would like to share them, please leave them
- on this BBS also.
