- This Desktop Front End for SAsm was written by Ainsley Pereira, probably
- because he grew impatient waiting for mine!
-
- As soon as I sort out the remaining bugs (?!) in SAsm I'll finish
- writing my own. Hopefully this will help those amongst you who can't
- leave the desktop without hanging a crucifix and strings of garlic
- around your neck and three days of prayer and fasting in preparation.
-
-
- These are short instructions for assembling the demo programs using
- Ainsley's front end.
-
- 1. Open the SAsm directory and double-click on SAsmMod to load the
- Module version of the assembler. (A 'command' window will open with
- a message telling you it is installed).
-
- 2. Double click on the !SAsmFrEnd application and it will install on
- the icon bar.
-
- 3. Make sure that you have a RAMdisc of at least 100K. Ainsley's front
- end uses this as a destination for assembled code by default.
-
- 4. Open the 'Source' sub directory of the SAsm directory.
-
- 5. Click on the front end icon on the iconbar and a window will open.
-
- 6. Drag the files Hello_A, Hello_B and Hello_C_50 from the 'Source'
- directory to this window IN THAT ORDER.
-
- 7. Click on 'Assemble'.
-
- If you look at the RAM disc you should find that you have two files, an
- application called !RunImage and a text file called SAsmLog. If you
- double-click on !Runimage it will simply print -
-
- Welcome to the SAsm Assembler
- This is the 'Hello' demonstration program
-
- If you load the file SAsmLog into !Edit you should see a log of the
- messages from SAsm during assembly which should be like this -
