1. Memory Allocation
ALASM allows you to work simultaneously with
several texts, located in different pages of user memory. Go
by editing one page to another
performed by entering the command
PAGE [Home]
of the operating line asemblera either team SS / ENTER, which
allows you to conveniently select the desired file from the
appearing list. Number of texts that can be processed ALASM,
depends only on the amount of memory computer.
Changes in the assembly are numbered on the mask of maximum
value passed in the extended memory driver. In this case, it
lower 3 bits correspond to bits that is transmitted to the port
# 7FFD.
2. COLD START
When you start the assembly of the TR-DOS screen
cleared, and it appears copyright
entry, and thereafter the memory test on all eight bits of the
page number drayvera.Ego results are displayed on screen
in the form XXX kb mask XX.Chisla indicate how much memory is
available in your assembler computer and which bits of the page
number responsible for access. For these bits masked operand
PAGE and the other teams.
Lower memory test output HELP, containing a list of assembly
instructions and redaktora.Goryachie keys of these teams made
in title mode.
After the appropriate messages when any key will clear the
screen and output to the working string assembly.
3. TEAM ENVIRONMENT ASSEMBLER
A list of these commands can be obtained
on the screen by pressing klazhishi "H" (HELP). Enter the
command you want by clicking the Latin letters contained in the
composition of this team as zaglavnoy.Pri this team entered are
displayed on the line, and then, if necessary, waiting for
input operands, or, depending on the destination, confirm by
pressing ENTER.
After entering the command, it is duplicated in
desktop screen and running. In the case of invalid operand is
displayed a message.
Executing any command can be
interrupted by pressing the BREAK.
If as a result of the command
may be lost text, if it was
changed, you are asked to retain it: File has been changed.
Save (Y / N)?

4. EDITOR COMMANDS
At the entrance to the editing window screen
divided into two parts: the edit window and an information
line, which displays the page number of the current file, his
name, the amount of memory in this page and the number of bytes
transferred in pocket (if this number is not 0). In this
same line provides the delivery service
maintenance commands text.
While editing a user
available service service team
text, but in contrast to the assembly environment, the result
of their implementation is not visible on the screen as a text
message, and controlled by the user.
A list of editor commands asemblera ALASM:
Quit
Format: Q
Exit the editor in Wednesday asemblera.
Begin
Format: B
Go to the top of the text.
End
Format: E
Go to end of text.
Search
Format: SEARCH [character string]
Search for a string of characters in the text. The search
starts from the position following the current cursor position
and continues to the end text. When you stop searching, it can
be continued by entering a combination of SS / I, and if such a
command is given after the end of last line of text, the search
will be started from its inception.
If the "character string" is not specified,
it will use the string entered in
previous times.
sYmbol

post-content pocket. After this operation is reset
Flag permission add pocket.
Clear
Format: C
Cleaning the pocket.
Xreplace
Format: REPLACE stroka1stroka2
Starting from the position following the current cursor
position, text searches "String1". Once it is detected,
I get a message "REPLACE (Y / N / G)?". When
reply "Y" current "string1" is replaced by
"String2" and the search continues. When
answer "N" the search continues without replacement.
If you answer "G" all met expression
"String1" will be replaced by "string2" without
additional zaprosov.V any time during its execution command can
be interrupted by pressing the BREAK (CS / SPACE).
Line

When editing text, the user
available functions to be called simultaneously
pressing two keys. These features accelerate
work in the editor and have no operands:
SS / I - continue the search;
SS / D - switching the Russian and Latin
registers the input text information
tsii.Izmenenie register indicated
modification of the cursor;
SS / Q - delete the current row. When these

CS / 1 - tab;
CS / 2 - Insert a space at the cursor position.
The rest of the line shifts
right;
SS/EN- displays a list of files,
which with the cursor selects

5. Assembler directives
When writing a compiler author maintains a set of
directives adopted in TASM 3.0.Direktivy not present in the
above creation, selected in accordance with international
practice of writing compilers assanblera, t.e.s by lantern and
English-Russian dictionary. List compiler directives ALASM and
Description:
1.
ORG address [Home]
Address set compilation. Default
parameter "page" is set to 0. In
As information about the current address of the compilation can
be used by the symbol "$" equivalent treatment to
zarezervivovannoy variable containing the address of the first
byte command, which occurred appeal. Example:
ORG # 7D19
LDIR; LDIR recorded at # 7D19
ORG # C069, # 84
INDR; INDR recorded at # C069
, At page # 84 of upper memory
2.
label EQU value
Assigns the label of a value equivalent to
parameter "value". Example:
SCREEN EQU # 4000; SCREEN = # 4000
ATTRS EQU # 5B00; ATTRS = # 5B00
SCR_LEN EQU ATTRS-SCREEN; SCR_LEN = # 1B00
3. Opreatsii selection senior and junior
byte words:
NUMB1 EQU # 1234
NUMB2 EQU # ABCD
STBMLB EQU. NUMB1 * 256 + 'NUMB2; STBMLB = # 34AB
MLBSTB EQU 'NUMB1 * 256 +. NUMB2; MLBSTB = # 12CD
; Try to avoid division by 256 to
; Get high byte needed
; Words, as the division is 280 times
; More time than just a distinguished operation; leniya High
Byte
DEFB 'NUMB2
; Absolutely equivalent, but much more rapid; Reeh than
DEFB NUMB2/256
; When you specify a byte value of the label infant; dshy bytes
allocated automatically
DEFB. NUMB1
, Equivalent
DEFB NUMB1
, And therefore mainly used for
DEFW. NUMB1
4.
DISP address
Address setting, which should work
program.
ENT
Assigning the address of the program addresses the current
compilation. Example: SCREEN EQU # 4000
ORG # 8000
LD HL, BEGIN; Move Region
LD DE, SCREEN; screen and run
LD BC, END-BEGIN; procedure of waiting
LDIR; [A] Interrupt
CALL SCREEN
DI
HALT
BEGIN DISP SCREEN
MARKA DEC A
HALT
JP NZ, MARKA; JP - not by accident
RET
ENT
END
5.
INCLUDE "drive: filename [Home]
Inclusion in the compiled file an additional text block on the
disc under the name "file name". In this case the file is
uploaded to the page specified as a "page" (default - current).
Upon completion of the compilation unit included compilation
continues with the line that follows the directive.
A feature of this directive is
that the file specified in it, will not boot from the disc if
it is already in the required page. Example:
LDIR
INCLUDE "TOKENIZE", a
OTDR
INCLUDE "ALASM2"
HALT
; First bydet compiled LDIR, then
The text "TOKENIZE.H", loaded into the page
, 1, then the OTDR, then the current page
; Be downloaded and compiled the text
; "ALASM2.H", then the disk will be assumed; tan main file and
the compilation will continue, with team Xia HALT.
6.
MAIN "file name" [Home]
Specifying the master file compilation. MAIN directive must be
the first executable directive of the slave file. Be careful
with file names containing the characters "." Or "*". It is
better to replace them with the symbol "?".
Example:
MAIN "MAKE6? 7", 6
LDIR
; After giving the command ASSEMBLE compilation
; Pass to MAKE6 * 7, located
, At page 6, and then being in it
; INCLUDE is a subordinate program
, Consisting of directives and commands MAIN
; LDIR. In the included files MAIN ignored; is, therefore,
after assembling LDIR , There is a return to the main programs,
and A continuation of the compilation.
7.
INCBIN "drive: filename" [, length]
Inclusion of a program to compiled code block, on the disc
under the name "File name" size "length" bytes or
default of the directory data.
Example:
ORG # E000
LD HL, SCRFILE
LD DE, # 4000
LD BC, 6144
LDIR
RET
SCRFILE INCBIN "SCR6? 7, 6144
To the address SCRFILE during compilation
; File will be downloaded SCR6 * 7, which after
; Launch will be postponed to the screen.
8.
DUP number
Left soft brace. Indicates the beginning of the block, which
must be compiled "number" times in a row
EDUP
Right soft skobka.Ukazyvaet at the end of a repeatable block.
Example:
DUP 1932
LDI
LD A, B
OR C
JR Z, $ +3; $ - address of first byte
LD (HL), D; compiled command
EDUP
; Block of text between the DUP and EDUP will otkom; mill 32
times
9.
DEFM "character string" ["character string"]
Reservation line character.
Example:
DEFM "There was a string of characters", "John"
10. DB, DEFB
DEFB byte [list of bytes]
Reservation list of bytes
Example:
DEFB "Y", 13.10, "Booty", 13.10
DB "was", 13.10, "dog", 13.10
11. DW, DEFW
DEFW word [word list]
Reservation list of words.
Example:
DEFW ALASKA, BUFFER, 12, # BD15, 32767,. NUMB1
12. DS, DEFS
DEFS reps [list of bytes]
List of bytes (default - 0) is copied
in the current address of the compilation. Number of cycles
equal to the parameter "number of repetitions."
Example:
LD SP, # 5B00
DEFS 8, # C5, # D5, # E5, # F5
, Equivalent
; DUP 8
; PUSH BC
; PUSH DE
; PUSH HL
; PUSH AF
; EDUP
13.
+
When you load the text from the disk, it scans
in the presence of a pointer "+" at the beginning
each line. In the process of compiling all
encountered signs "+" will be replaced by
"-" That tells the compiler to the lack of
to compile the line at the next assembly. Example:
LD HL, # DB00
+ SAVEADR
+ ORG # DB00, 7
+ INCBIN "sts7.5a"
+ ORG SAVEADR
JP (HL)
And the main file debugger will be loaded
, Only the first compilation of text, soda; rzhaschego these
commands.
14.
label = expression
Reassigning the value of an existing
tags. Example:
SHLUSS EQU 0
ORG 32768
DUP # 4000
DEFW SHLUSS
SHLUSS = SHLUSS +1
EDUP
, All memory above the # 8000 will be filled
, Increases the words from 0 to 16384
6. When compiling the source code
possible to issue a compile-time error,
associated with the inattentive programmer
List of errors at compile time
assembler ALASM
0 - syntax error;
1 - there is no contact with the power supply;
2 - Error math coprocessor;
3 - a short passage is incorrect;
4 - lunch;
5 - water on the motherboard;
6 - re-description tags;
7 - reserved for DOS;
August - is reserved for ROM-BASIC;
9 - reserved for user;
10 - Compiling the ROM;
11 - Invalid operation;
12 - Incorrect MACRO-operation;
13 - not used;
14 - fault system stack;
15 - disk error;
Error filling time:
wrong short - improper handling of metal
TKE is beyond the "short"
field;
not defined - the label is not defined.
7. SETUP MENU OPTIONS
Save SETUP
Write to disk all the settings changed in SETUP
last time work session.
Record all parameters are
directly into the body of a monoblock ALASM, so there is no
need to create and download a single file with an initial SETUP
zagruzke.U duplicates of each assembly font size has its own
individual name that candy bar and be recognized. Not
recommended to change it, because it can lead to a fatal
discrepancy.
Load FONT codes
Download the file from disk
font. Depending on the nature of the program is dialing the
programmer may need to use an alternate set of characters,
which in this case may be loaded from disk. When you select
this option at the top of the screen, a list of available files
for a given size Font and cell cursor to select the desired
file. Font files are identified by length and at boot time.
KBD forming - a pause between the two surveys
KBD holder - protection from Bounce
KBD wait - pause before auto
Setting the constants that define the parameters
of the poll keypad. Bandwidth constant interval between the two
surveys is chosen first, depending on the type of keyboard
controller or otsutstviya.Chem above its value, the higher the
stability, but increases delay.
Russian
Change the encoding key to the national to the sound
or naoborot.Natsionalnaya encoding (abbreviated - "QWERTY") is
useful for keyboards, for which she applied for some
prichinam.Zvukovaya encoding (Yaver ") is used on computers
without relevant clues, but in general it is -
matter of habit.
Border
Ink
Paper
Bright
Installation of frame colors and screen. Colors
corresponding to the digits can be found in any self-respecting
book on your computer. For color blind much irrelevant.
Numbers
Change the number system displayed on-screen numeric
information (hex / decimal).
Start page
Specifying a page number, which will become current
at startup ALASM.
System page
One of the basic system
parameters, indicating in what page
should be ALASM out session
with him.
Symbol list
Page number, which will be posted a list of marks
obtained at compilation of the text. This list can be
used when compiling for
information on labels by the user or
debugging to improve the readability of disassembly of the
memory.
Post symbols
Page number, which will be posted a list of
mailing label compilation. After compilation is complete, this
list is not of itself to Users no informational value.
Pocket page
Home, which houses the text information is stored
in While editing the text. If the parameter
"Pocket page" is "Post symbols", then
compile the contents of each pocket will be
collapse. Otherwise, your pocket will be maintained throughout
the session work.
Debugger
In this option, you must specify the page number
where you prodpolagaete host the main file debugger. In this
case, all the teams, anyway svazannye with him, pre-tested it
This page on the presence or absence of the necessary
identifiable sequence.
HImem driver
When you select this option, you
invited to read from disk one of the suggested drivers top
pamyati.Eti drivers differ only for computers with memory more
than 128 kilobytes of addressable byte in the port of entry #
FD and bats, are responsible for obtaining access to additional
memory. Driver file is identified by length and address of the
initial installation zagruzki.Pri ALASMa need to find the
driver memory, which corresponds to the capabilities of your
computer. About specialization of a ddayveda nedvusmysleddo
ugazyvaet his individual name, kotodoe can pgochitat in your
drive. (АААРХХГГМММПППЩЩЩББББУУУУЭЭЭ!! Please sorry - a runny
nose). Driver format can be understood from the attached source
files.
8. In the next version
The current version of ALASMa is not the last, as ways to
improve incalculable. The author will make every effort
to make assembly even easier
for the user. A list of refinements that
should be expected in future versions of the first
turn:
