- Re: Assembler Files

- Speaking of handy things for assemblers, if any of you use M80, you
- may be interested in a 'quickie' patch I worked out.
-
- Typically, I debug one module at a time in a large program, and while
- I prefer to keep the EXTRN and PUBLIC statements limited to only the
- symbols that are actually referenced, during the module's debug phase,
- it's often handy to have all of its labels public.
-
- I used to run through and change all the colons to double colons
- (M80's 'simple' way to make a public). I got tired of this, and went
- rambline through M80 and came up with a patch that sets both the
- 'defined' bit and the 'public' bit whenever M80 sees a colon in its
- input stream. Thus, I keep two M80's handy, M80.COM for 'normal'
- operation, and M80G.COM, when I want everything public.
-
- This patch applies only to M80 version 3.44: change location 03A4H
- from 20H to 60H.
-
- Hope someone else finds this useful. --Ron
