What's on this disk? It goes like this:
READ.ME This notice.
A68.DOC The manual for the 6801 cross-assembler. This file
can be printed with the following command line under
CP/M-80:
A>pip lst:=a68.doc[t8]
A68.H The source files for the 6801 cross-assembler. The
A68.C file A68.H also contains compile, assemble, and link
A68EVAL.C instructions for all compilers that I have used with
A68UTIL.C the package or that users have told me how to use with
the package.
TEST68.ASM The entire instruction set of the 6801 CPU to use in
testing the 6801 cross-assembler.
A18.DOC The manual for the 1805A cross-assembler. This file
can be printed with the following command line under
CP/M-80:
A>pip lst:=a18.doc[t8]
A18.H The source files for the 1805A cross-assembler. The
A18.C file A18.H also contains compile, assemble, and link
A18EVAL.C instructions for all compilers that I have used with
A18UTIL.C the package or that users have told me how to use with
the package.
TEST18.ASM The entire instruction set of the 1805A processor to
use in testing the 1805A cross-assembler.
A685.DOC The manual for the 6805 cross-assembler. This file
can be printed with the following command line under
CP/M-80:
A>pip lst:=a685.doc[t8]
A685.H The source files for the 6805 cross-assembler. The
A685.C file A685.H also contains compile, assemble, and link
A685EVAL.C instructions for all compilers that I have used with
A685UTIL.C the package or that users have told me how to use with
the package.
TEST685.ASM The entire instruction set of the 6805 processor to
use in testing the 6805 cross-assembler.
HEXTOS.C A conversion utility to convert Intel hex object files
to Motorola S-record object files. The program's
documentation is at the top of its source file.
I not only wrote these pieces of software originally and rewrote them in
"portable" C for all of you UNIX and IBM-PC users out there, but I am also the
librarian for the disk, and as such, I am responsible for maintaining the
packages. I can only do this with YOUR help. During the re-write, I noticed a
few bugs in the BDS C versions. These were never reported to me by any of you
users, so I never knew to fix them. PLEASE report bugs to me promptly so that
I can get them fixed. I am only a letter or a phone call away.
The lists of compile, assemble, and link instructions for the packages are
limited by my personal experience if YOU do not contribute. In particular, I
have no access to a real UNIX system nor to an IBM-PC of any kind with any of
its dozen or so C compilers. I need YOU to tell me how to use the package with
these systems and others.
Once the first cross-assembler (the 6801 package) is written, adapting it
to other 8-bit or 4-bit processors (like the 1805A) is easy. In fact, I once
adapted one of the BDS C versions to a 12-bit processor (the PIC1650). It only
takes a couple of evenings for me to do it. What processors should be next, if
any? Get your votes in, either to me or to the Users' Group. Otherwise, the
selection of cross-assemblers will reflect only my needs, not yours.
Having the author double as the librarian allows this disk to be a living,
growing entity, but its growth will be stunted by my lack of resources if YOU
do not contribute your share. Speak up, for everybody's sake!
