27KASM UPDATE
=============
Hands up who noticed the typing
mistake in this program???
During development here on my BBC I
assemble the source to 27KASM in RAM
then save it to disk as "OUTPUT".
This is fine during development,
except when I'm not concentrating and
go and run the test program (TEST1 and
TEST2 as I gave you) which overwrites
the 27KASM program.
The work around I used (rather than
the more obvious of saving the source
code to 27KASM instead!) was to make
27KASM write to a file called OBJECT.
This is reflected in the TEST programs
which use *DUMP OBJECT at the end.
The outcome is that it works perfectly
except if using the test programs I
sent!
To fix either:
1.COPY 27KASM from this issue disk
onto last issue's disk.The new version
has it saving to OBJECT as it should.
*OR*
2.LOAD TEST1 and TEST2 changing the
references to OBJECT at the end to
references to OUTPUT then resave.
I suggest that 1 is the easier.The
only other thing is that it wouldn't
run from the menu program and only the
hardy amongst you will have dared go
further.
It is machine code hence needs to be
*RUN as detailed in the instructions
and not CHAINed into BASIC like I
guess the menu tried.Most of you will
have received the "Bad program" error
as a result.
Sorry,my fault,hope it hasn't put you
off using the utility...and sorry if
I've made fixing the problem sound
hard.
See you next issue,
R.P.Sprowson.
