- What's on this disk? It goes like this:
-
- READ.ME This notice.
-
- A68.DOC The manual for the 6801 cross-assembler. This file
- can be printed with the following command line under
- CP/M-80:
-
- A>pip lst:=a68.doc[t8]
-
- A68.H The source files for the 6801 cross-assembler. The
- A68.C file A68.H also contains compile, assemble, and link
- A68EVAL.C instructions for all compilers that I have used with
- A68UTIL.C the package or that users have told me how to use with
- the package.
-
- TEST68.ASM The entire instruction set of the 6801 CPU to use in
- testing the 6801 cross-assembler.
-
- A18.DOC The manual for the 1805A cross-assembler. This file
- can be printed with the following command line under
- CP/M-80:
-
- A>pip lst:=a18.doc[t8]
-
- A18.H The source files for the 1805A cross-assembler. The
- A18.C file A18.H also contains compile, assemble, and link
- A18EVAL.C instructions for all compilers that I have used with
- A18UTIL.C the package or that users have told me how to use with
- the package.
-
- TEST18.ASM The entire instruction set of the 1805A processor to
- use in testing the 1805A cross-assembler.
-
- A685.DOC The manual for the 6805 cross-assembler. This file
- can be printed with the following command line under
- CP/M-80:
-
- A>pip lst:=a685.doc[t8]
-
- A685.H The source files for the 6805 cross-assembler. The
- A685.C file A685.H also contains compile, assemble, and link
- A685EVAL.C instructions for all compilers that I have used with
- A685UTIL.C the package or that users have told me how to use with
- the package.
-
- TEST685.ASM The entire instruction set of the 6805 processor to
- use in testing the 6805 cross-assembler.
-
- HEXTOS.C A conversion utility to convert Intel hex object files
- to Motorola S-record object files. The program's
- documentation is at the top of its source file.
-
- I not only wrote these pieces of software originally and rewrote them in
- "portable" C for all of you UNIX and IBM-PC users out there, but I am also the
- librarian for the disk, and as such, I am responsible for maintaining the
- packages. I can only do this with YOUR help. During the re-write, I noticed a
- few bugs in the BDS C versions. These were never reported to me by any of you
- users, so I never knew to fix them. PLEASE report bugs to me promptly so that
- I can get them fixed. I am only a letter or a phone call away.
-
- The lists of compile, assemble, and link instructions for the packages are
- limited by my personal experience if YOU do not contribute. In particular, I
- have no access to a real UNIX system nor to an IBM-PC of any kind with any of
- its dozen or so C compilers. I need YOU to tell me how to use the package with
- these systems and others.
-
- Once the first cross-assembler (the 6801 package) is written, adapting it
- to other 8-bit or 4-bit processors (like the 1805A) is easy. In fact, I once
- adapted one of the BDS C versions to a 12-bit processor (the PIC1650). It only
- takes a couple of evenings for me to do it. What processors should be next, if
- any? Get your votes in, either to me or to the Users' Group. Otherwise, the
- selection of cross-assemblers will reflect only my needs, not yours.
-
- Having the author double as the librarian allows this disk to be a living,
- growing entity, but its growth will be stunted by my lack of resources if YOU
- do not contribute your share. Speak up, for everybody's sake!
