Tasm 4.0 to ASCII

Please tell me, kind people, how to convert files in TASM4.0 (XLD)
format to ASCII and, perhaps, back? There was a need to change the old
program, and look at the three-pixel font... What a horror!
And what are the *.ASM people writing for SPECCY on now?

In UNICON, convert from Tasma to ALASM format, and then you can run
ALASM <-> ASCII

ASCII can be loaded into Tasm 2.0, but the end marker must be inserted (I don’t
remember which one), and through Import 2.0 -> Tasm 4.0

Now there are a lot of ASMS, in Voronezh they write mainly in two:
Alasm 3.8
Tasm 4 by Rst #7

Alasm has a big disadvantage - there is no disk cache, loads slowly, but
single-pass.

See you! Write more!
Alexey.

I agree, imho the most convenient way.

AH> Absolutely agree. XAS RULEZZZ 4EVER!!!

no, he doesn’t have speckrum for a long time, he gave all the source codes to me, in fact
versions older than 7.1 from me.

IV> ^^^^^^^^ can you tell me how to do this?
In UNICON. K Alasm is included. *.C -> *.H, and *.H -> *.C
*.C is ASCII.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is bad, very bad, on the Amiga imho gorge? :(

Listen, do you want to finish one feature in XAS, imho ASMA really lacks -
loading blocks on pages, well, like LCODE "sintbl", #11
^^^ page number.
If it is missing, then naturally it loads in #10.
Well, naturally, so that in HEX/DEC worked.
How do you like it?

My UNICON (version dated 05/17/96) does not output files with the extension .H at all,
only .A and .C. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or do you have a newer version? If it doesn't break, wash your UNICON, plz.

Was there (not for long). Look for him in ru.amiga (his number is 5030/221.999)

Warm greetings, Slava!

This feature has been built into ALASM 3.8 a long time ago, use it.

I have nothing against ALASM, but I still prefer XAS + the speed of
assembly, and the sources in it.

Or maybe you’ll still have some fun, huh? Well, I would really like to.

It’s a pity, well, since I promised, then of course.

I don’t know about the people, but I personally I am writing in ZX-TASM. Today this is the
best editor+compiler, IMHO.

packaged, Eugeny, packaged!

You are already the second... Can you throw Alasm 3.8 into the echo?

Thanks to everyone who responded and helped me. I will write to ALASM.

So I said that I understood everything, but if you really want to, then convert
it’s not difficult, but who knows what you’ll understand later ;)

YESSSSS! Another! :)

Cool assembler, although STORM is much more promising...

Of course, throw it (it weighs a little). Personally, I'm interested in the version with 42x24
characters.

well, yes, at the end there are 128 byte pieces of code-font-code-font ;) so
faster printed.

so people write where it is convenient for them.

so most of those I know, and people write about what they like,
they also like alasm for its textual nature.

Well, I need to overtake this... I only have 4x8 on the screw.

More later.
