As80 is a lightweight 8080/8085 assembler for UN*X systems. It was
|
||
|
|
developed on a Debian GNU/Linux System and should well work on other
|
||
|
|
UN*Xes. As80 is not invoked directly but through a wrapper shell
|
||
|
|
script (asm) that handles some basic conversion (upper to lower etc.). So
|
||
|
|
be sure to use this instead of directly running as80 and getting lots of
|
||
|
|
(if you are lucky, meaningful) error messages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Although As80 is still in a somewhat early phase of development, it
|
||
|
|
won't take much to come to one level with professional assemblers. The
|
||
|
|
use of the C preprocessor instead of implementing some of the
|
||
|
|
functionality (.EQU comes to mind) makes it easy to write assembler
|
||
|
|
source programs in a more flexible way. At least, that's what I think.
|
||
|
|
You are of course welcome to improve and/or add as you like, but be
|
||
|
|
sure to always obey the license terms.
