System - Overview of system software: assembler XAS v 9.06 +

               XAS v 9.06 +


           (C) Max Petrov '...


     A detailed description for this version
not at all (honestly, no
any description, even the file ReadMe.
HAS). The first thing that catches your eye, it
that Xas was a 64-character! In this regard, as well as with 
another glitches and inscription in the comment line, there is

question, whether an author
XAS? Not a remake of it (such as
was with Microprotector 'ohm)? Let's begin our analysis of this 
product (without grievances).


     That changed with the appearance of
introduction of a 64-character is a no-brainer. Thus, there is 
a new line that says "Drive: A", from which one can conclude 
that the new XAS 'e can choose the current drive (hmm?). 
Changed a directory (looked like a Alasm 'ovsky or Masm 
'ovsky). The new command (Search / Replace). Hang it on a key

[X] and allows you to change, not to change or modify all the 
(fairly cool running). There is a possibility to use Russian 
letters in the labels (that are cool). When connecting the STS 
'well, modified PHANTOM FAMILY corp., It is possible to have

text labels. While much steeper
than Alasm 'e (only displayed without labels "garbage"). Run 
all the commands working in previous versions. Managing Editor 
is the same as in v 7.12. Change mnemonics defb, defw, defm,

defs - now they look like: db, dw,
dm, ds; introduction of a complete entity is regarded as a 
label (n-da. ..). 

     In each program there are bugs, not
They went around and XAS (incidentally a bug with equ,
inherent v7.12 fixes). So, in poryadku.Pochemu is not 
determined by the drive with which launched XAS (older versions

worked with the drive, from which it was launched). True drive 
can be changed (in the mode set command XAS 'and press 1 to 4 - 
1-A ,2-B ,3-C ...). But then, that when you start is always 
current Drive A, I'm not very happy (I broke

put back the disk). No still local labels (I could not find a 
thing type% lab, $ lab, @ lab new XAS perceives as tags). When 
you choose lenGth down with CS when any

character keys are accessed
to the drive. With a simple call lenGth,
if there were no changes in the length of labels showing 
incorrect information about the available number of tags. 
Sometimes, when a fatal error, this version runs in infinite 
loop assemlirovaniya erroneous line (dial ASSM, including this 
one glitch is provided to you). More bugs not noticed the 
differences from previous versions, too ...
