System - Review of the new system software: ALASM v4.1, STORM v1.1, BEST VIEW v2.2.

               SYSTEM



   Today we will review the new
System Support ...



           Alasm 4.1 (C) Alem


   Good old Alasm been
renewal. What has this new
version of the popular assembly?

   By tradition, Alem released his
assembly in several different ways - with
characters 4x8, 6x8 and 6x7 pixels, which
course, commendable.

   Directive DEFB, DEFW and DEFS can
now used in the condensed
form - DB, DW, and DS, respectively.
Volume of the program text is not cut,
but it will reduce recruitment time.

   Setup can now be loaded into
any time from the disk into any web page in
Setup'e and references. It can be set
page and the address for this version:
buffer directory to INCBIN / INCLUDE and
macros. With the buffer directory
assemble with the boot will
occur much faster. C
Macros I have not yet understood: (

   In the main menu, a new
Team - BAN, which serves to
delete the program text.

   What is not so far and that I would like to
see in the new version? First of all, it is
implementation of binary numbers, without them
sometimes very uncomfortable. Would not prevent, and
Display the current line number and
ability to call directly from the calculator
editor.

   Version 4.1 was preceded by a version 3.9,
different, as far as I can judge,
only mode to select a file pointer and
selection of files that are loaded into the page.



         STORM 1.1 (C) X-Trade


   This is the second edition of this
assembler. In Storm'e can be used
function, lack of other
assembler, a frame-scroller.
But there are also annoying inconvenience - no
select the file pointer, not implemented
assemble a page. In addition
system leaves little room for
in the 128th mode - apparently the authors worked
on computers with more memory.
Apparently it would be easy to implement
directive, similar to the "+" Alasm'e. In
Otherwise, the assembler produces a nice
impression. We'll wait for the next version!



     BEST VIEW 2.2 (C) Ivan Roshin


   The next version of the universal
viewer from Ivan Roshchina. Must
say that it implements Image
or listen to files such well-known
programs such as:
 ALASM, XAS, TASM, MASM, ZX ASM, GENS,
PASM, SOUND TRACKER, SOUND TRACKER PRO,
PRO TRACKER (2.1-3.31), PRO SOUND
CREATOR, ASM, SUPER SONIC, but other than that
You can view text, screens (in hour t.
Wrapped), fonts, sprites, Busick.

   If the file is packed in any
known packer'om, it will be printed
its name, the length of the compressed file
length of the compressed file, address packaging and
compression ratio!

   All this is nice, but I have a glitch
Still found it - when you play
music written in ProTracker 3.31, BV
does not account for the frequency table - Sound
Tracker or ProTracker all the time
plays music to the table Sound
Tracker'a.

   A general Best View is very useful in
use.


FILE CLOSING ERROR.
