This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

TRACKER DISSASSEMBLER
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By Richard Dimond

This is the dissassembler that I use for all my machine coding and I find
it very useful.  Now that I have a Master, I found that it needed some
small modifications to make it work satisfactorily.

The first thing was to set up CHR$255 using VDU23 as needed on the Master
and this was done by changing line 1000.  The program set up the character
by simply setting up the bytes CF8 - CFF which can be done with the Elk.

The inversion of the colours of the flags was done by EORing the bytes of
CF8 - CFF.  I have modified the line 210 to use the COLOUR command.

The code is written to &72C0 and thus occupies the lower half of the MODE
6 screen.  This can be avoided by switching on your MRB if you have this
or using MODE 134 on th Master.

To use the program, you must enter MODE 6 (or MODE 134) first to clear the
screen before running the program as it will not work if the screen has
scrolled.  The program can then be run by *TRACKER.

The keys to use are -

       A - to enter a new address (in hex)
       F - to move forward 256 bytes
       B - to move Backward 256 bytes
       J - to toggle JSR on/off
       M - to toggle JMP on/off
       P - to toggle the printer on/off
       Any other key will advance to the next op code

ESCAPE will break out of the program but you can start up again by the
command *GO.  This uses a vector change so, if you are finished with the
program, there is a command *RID for resetting the vectors to normal.

If you want to start the program at a certain address, you can set D% to
this address before calling the program.

I have found that, when using the printer, you need a buffer large enough
to hold all the coding you wish to print and, when this is loaded into the
buffer, you then need to press BREAK to start the printer.
