TED has been designed to be a assembler IDE (Integrated Development Environment) which allows you to Edit/Compile/Link/Run/Debug/Profile your own assembler projects. We tried to make it as convinient as a C++ compiler like Borland C++.

Project
A project is a set of files needed to build an application. For example, your main program can be named VOCPLAY.ASM, and may need a VOCAPI.ASM, FILEAPI.ASM to compile. If so, you will create a project which will contain FIRST your main program (VOCPLAY.ASM), and then, in any order, the other files. When you will run a Compile|Make or a Compile|Run, all the files which have been modified since the last compilation will be recompiled, and all the OBJ files will be linked together to produce your executable. This is really helpful if you work with many source files.
You may want to convert your PJA (project) file to a MAK (make) file. To do so, use the Project|Convert project to Makefile command. TED will then produce a MAK file which has the same name than your PJA file in the current directory.

OBJ File
An OBJ file is a file produced by a compiler (Assembler, C/C++, Pascal etc.). Those files are intermediate files, used to produce the EXE or the COM files with the help of the linker. They have a specific format that you can uncode using the following tables. #

Error Message
An error message occurs each time you write something that either the compiler or the linker cannot understand. They ave all tracked, and display into the Message
Window. You can jump to the line where the error has been detected by the compiler by simply pressing Enter on the designated error message. TED will then go to the source window at the right line. Correct the mistake, and use Window|Next

Message Window
The message window is the window where TED display all the errors (and warnings) detected by the compiler/linker. This window is a normal window, that you can move, close, jump to etc. Use Enter to go to the line where the error has been detected by the compiler or the linker. #

This program has been written fully using Borland Pascal 7.0 (UI, File management etc.) and TASM 3.1 (XMS swapper, etc.). It cannot play VOC files, but if you ask for it...
If you think that this program is useful for you, don't forget to register your copy of TED. You'll get for free the next release of TED. To register, simply fill the REGISTER.IT file (once printed) and send it to: Z

Thanks for your contribution.
This program is a gift from Magic Manu++ to FRED.ASM.
The help system is a gift from FRED.ASM to Magic Manu++.
This is just there for debugging purpose. With this, you can access any screen you want without going to the maze of the help system (reminds you something ?).

This command is helpful if you want to go temporaly to DOS to execute a COPY, a DEL or whatever. Be careful NOT to load TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) programs from any DOS shell, otherwise TED (and other programs) will hang your computer when you will perform the EXIT. If you are not sure about a program, don't run it or read its documentation first. Anyway, do NOT forget to save your work before performing a DOS shell.

Edit|Undo
The Undo command allows you to "take back" the last editor action you performed. For example, if the line:
This is an editor test
is changed to:
This was an editor test
The Undo command will become active. Executing the Undo command will cause the line to revert back to its original version. Note that changes which can be undone are grouped into similar actions, such as typing, or deleting characters. Any action type you perform that is different than the last action type will cause the Undo information to be lost.

The Cut command removes the selected text and places it on the Clipboard. Any information previously on the clipboard is lost. Text cut from the editor may be immediately replaced by selecting the Edit|Undo command before moving the cursor.

The Paste command inserts a the contents of the clipboard into the current editor window at the cursor position. The contents of the clipboard remain unchanged. If any text is selected in the current editor window, the highlighted text is replaced by the text coming from the clipboard. Information pasted into an editor may be removed immediately by using the Edit|Undo command before moving the cursor.

If sometimes you have a huge source code, you may want to look quickly for a particular text or part of code. So, it's time to use the Search|Find command. Specify the text you are looking for in the edit field, and press enter. TED will locate the first occurence of the text you specified, and using Search again will go to the next occurence. After completing the edit field (Text to search you can check two options:
o Case sensitive : If you want a case sensitive search, check this button.
o Whole words only : If you want that TED search for whole words only (not in
words themselves), check this button.

If you have a variable or a label etc. that you want to change globally in all your source, the Replace command will be useful. After completing the two edit fields (Text to search/New text) you can check several options:
o Case sensitive : If you want a case sensitive search, check this button.
o Whole words only : If you want that TED search for whole words only (not in
words themselves), check this button.

Compile|Compile Alt-F9
TED has been designed to compile your assembler source code. It calls TASMX, catchs the results, and open a new window called the Message
Window in which you can move from one Error
Message to another. If you use Enter on an error message, TED will jump to the line number where the error occurs. Once your modification to this line made, you can use Window|Next
F6 to go back to the message window.
If you want to set different options for the compilation than the one provided by default, open the Options|Compiler dialog, and modify any option you want.

Compile|Make F9
If you have open a Project or if you have a standalone program, you can run the Compile|Make command. This will only compile the file needed (ie the ASM files which date are newer than the OBJ ones). This is obviously quicker than a Compile|Compile plus the Compile|Link options together. The other advantage is that TED won't forget any ASM file during the compilation. #

Once you have used the Compile|Compile command, you have produced an OBJ file which should now be linked to give the EXE (or COM) corresponding file. To do so, you have to use the Compile|Link command. Like for the Compile|Compile menu, TED will open an Error
Message window which will display you all the errors encountered during the link process.
If you want to set different options for the link than the one provided by default, open the Options|Linker dialog, and modify any option you want. #

Once you EXE (or your COM) program has been created, you may want to run it from the IDE. To do so, use the Compile|Run command. At this point, TED swap his own code to XMS (or disk if XMS is not available) to make room enough for your program to be executed. N
If your program needs parameters to run, use the Compile|Parameters command.
< WARNING >
Do **NOT** run TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) program directly from TED, otherwise your computer will surely hang, and you work may be lost. Be really careful with those kind of programs. We advice you to EXIT TED before running a TSR, and to be sure that you are under the first shell of DOS. #

Compile|Debug
If your program does not work exactly as you expect it to work after the first error free compilation, you may want to use a debugger to see what is going on. To do so, use the Compile|Debug command. This will run the debugger from the IDE, with your program loaded in it. You should have compiled it successfully at least once. N
If your program needs parameters to run, use the Compile|Parameters command. #
