F/MCTut1

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.

USING THE ASSEMBLER
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By Richard Dimond

I have had the suggestion that I should write a BASIC Compiler 
to make thewriting of a machine code program easier.  Thie 
was done with a program inEU (Nov 1986) but to me this was 
rather limited and more confusing thanusing the assembler.  
Also it did not produce a very satisfactory M/codeprogram.  I 
have even had the idea suggested that it would be nice to be
able to write a program in BASIC which would re-write your 
program inM/code!! This would be very difficult and would 
also take up too muchmemory.

I am not going to attempt to do either of these nor am I going 
to write atext book on the subject - there are many books 
available on thisalready!!  These tend to be written in so 
much detail that they can berather confusing and better 
regarded as reference books.  For this reasonI thought it 
might be helpful give details of several routines which will
show you how to do some of the BASIC things in M/code and give 
you astarting point on which you may experiment and learn how 
to make up simpleprograms in M/code.

I hope that this will help you to use the assembler and find 
that it isnot so difficult to use as it may seem.  I would 
suggest that you alwaysSAVE the assembler listing before 
RUNning it as it is easy to make slip upand make a mistake - 
I have learnt a lot from my own mistakes!!

I will assume such knowledge as given in the introduction to 
M/code in theUser Manual and may make reference the page 
numbers.  However, if there isanything which is not clear to 
anyone, I will be glad to try to explain itin more detail.

Basically, M/coding is using the registers A, X, and Y for 
storing numbersand manipulating them to perform the task 
required.  There are routinesin the computers memory for 
doing certain tasks.  These are the OperatingSystem routines 
and for printing to the screen we use OSWRCH (&FFEE) theWrite 
Character routine. To use this we must load A register with 
the ASCvalue of the character before we call this routine.

To demonstrate this type in:
	P%=&900                      <RETURN>
	[LDA #ASC"A":JSR&FFEE:RTS
	CALL&900

P% is the address to which the code is assembled.  This must 
be an addresswhich BASIC does not use and &900 is usually 
convenient for short routinesbut I will discuss other options 
later.  The code must always be precededby the square 
bracket.  On pressing RETURN, the code is listed and whenthe 
code is CALLed the letter will be printed.

Note the use of the '#' sign (see page 206 of the manual).  It 
is all tooeasy to forget this!!  It can produce some peculiar 
results!!

I have put the BASIC assembler listing on the disc together 
with the firstroutine on the disc and hope that you enjoy 
adding to this andexperimenting.  I will give a simple 
explanation of each routine and whereit is possible an 
equivalent BASIC routine.

Do not RENUMBER the program, I have left spaces for you to add 
routines.
