Apple Assembly, or Apple Pascal files? Specifically, I have 2 programs
I am trying to download and run on my IIe. The first is a program
written in 6502 Assembly language. I can get it to my Apple as a text
file, but I can't figure out how to assemble it in order to run it.
When I try to bring it into the assembler, I get an improper file type
error. Does anyone know what I need to do in order to assemble this
program? The second program is written in Apple Pascal. Does anyone
know how I can convert the DOS (or PRODOS) text files into Pascal files
on a Pascal formatted disk so that I can compile them?
Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated (and save me any
further aggravation). You can respond to this forum or send a response
to Rankins@dockmaster.arpa.
Thanks in advance,

If the assembler text file is in this form:
CALL -151
15E3: 00 3E 2F 76 2A 8B
15E9: 01 20
etc.....
Then you can just exec it into memory, but make sure that at the
beginning it has a CALL -151 and at the end it has a
BSAVE name,A$starting address,L$Length
If it is a text file for an assembler like the ones that use comments
and dot commands then it should accept a regular text file.
As for Pascal....... if you are using AE PRO, the system disk
has some utilities on it to convert from TEXT --> PASCAL and
from PASCAL --> TEXT. It also does CPM conversions. If you don't
have access to AE PRO, then I don't know how else you could do it.

For converting between the various Apple formats, and especially from Apple Pascal to ProDos, UNIVERSAL FILE CONVERSION, written by Gary Charpentier, and published by Quality Software, is excellent. I have not used it on a ][gs, but it works fine on ][e and ][c.

It also does CPM conversions. If you don't > have access to AE PRO, then I don't know how else you could do it. All versions of softerm are capable of converting between DOS, CPM and PASCAL. I have used it to convert between DOS and PASCAL on rare occasions and it is a minor pain to use. Rumor has it that they will be adding ProDOS compatability. I will not use it for proDOS/DOS conversions, however, as I really like Copy][+. --- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Wiliam C.

I believe AE pro comes with a utility for doing file conversions including pascal and cp/m. I used it on the Dos 3.3 version quite a bit. Haven't checked if the convert program comes with the ProDos version of AE pro or with the mousetalk version (which I haven't seen). take care, -Bri ________________________________________________________________________ Brian Dall | |"It is dangerous to tell PO Box 5112 | NU092254@NDSUVM1.BITNET | the people that laws are NDSU Station | | not just. . . ."

Brian, you are correct about AE Pro having those conversion files.
I have the ProDos version and these same utilities are included with
it also.
