P/+RmTk1

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 M/C DISASSEMBLER - ROM VERSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By Richard Dimond

I have at last got this to work.  I found that the trouble was that I was
using the routine in the Tracker program for entering the Star commands
and this would not work as this cleared the first five bytes of the
command each time and this caused a 'Bad name' error.  I have added Tables
5 & 6 for the entry of the Star commands and it is now working well.

This version works in the same way as before but has further advantages.

The display is now full screen so that 20 lines of coding are now shown.   
As the *GO facility had to be omitted, I have shortened the command to run
the program to *TKR for easy typing in.

Star commands may now be used so that discs may be changed, files loaded
and the disc catalogue displayed without breaking out of the program.  
These are all called by pressing the '*' key and entering the command.
There is no need to re-enter the '*'.

I have included a HELP srceen and this can be called with 'HELP TKR' and
this will be displayed.

Each time you give a Star command, the display area will clear and when
the command is completed you will need to press 'SPACE' to return to the
program.  ESCAPE will return to BASIC as before and also if an error
occurs.

I hope that those who have SW RAM will find this version useful.

I have included the assembler listings for those interested in looking at
these.  It is in two parts, the first for the ROM set up, HELP data and
the start command and the second for the program itself.  This latter file
is so long that it can only be assembled with either a Master in MODE 134
or MODE7 or an Electron with MRB.  The assembled coding TRACK1 and 2 are
then loaded into SW_RAM using the short program TKRldr.
