System - Overview of system software: assembler TASM v 4.12

               TASM v 4.12


               (C) by RST # 7



     Sat RST # 7, looked at the disgusting things happening 
around his brainchild, and decided all at once to wipe their 
noses. He succeeded. New TASM is very steep. It appeared

things that other assemblers and
never dreamed of. First and foremost, it should be noted normal 
(classical) macro. Fairly strong support for conditional

compilation. There are switching mode
64/32 screen character in the string (that's what
lacking in older versions). Assembling the page (as in ALASM 
's), local labels (COOL). Search tags, save the cursor where it 
was thrown (Almost as in XAS 'e). There is still a lot of

new products, about which I am here to tell
I will not. There is an opportunity to work with
libraries. So, for TASM 'have included
library krossassemblera to 6502 (this processor DANDY). I 
especially liked the little program based on the play "Python". 
The biggest joke is that the prog launched for execution early 
in the second passage, ie, is self-starting. I have nowhere 
else seen such a thing. If TASM 'and was editor of the better, 
then it would be the best choice among assemblers.
