I have been self teaching myself c128 assembly mainly because its a new area for me....I have programmed in basic for years and years. I wrote a small routine that takes advantage of the TIME OF DAY registers, a nice little hardware clock on the c128 that does not stop during drive routines, unlike the juffy clock.....Why am I telling everyone this? I am offering this file along with the basic TIME SETTER that will how those who are not familiar with ml to set this clock and use it. Clearly, those who are experienced with assembly could probably write my routine with half the code!!! I also wrote a small basic program that takes asks for a string of text and will poke it into any given memory location. This program was designed to work with the JPRIMM ($ff7d on the C128) and also gives you the option to specify the type of print mode (eg upper/lower, graphic/uppercase). Then it adds to the end of the text $00 which tells JPRIMM routine where it is to stop printing and also adds adds $60 RTS to the very end which necessary because the JPRIMM routine requires you JSR it. The files are uploaded and I'll send it out to anyone who wants it. Please specify if you want it uuencoded or not and if you want it sent via mail or the send/file command (assuming you have receive on your machine). Send Requests to GRX0644@UOFT02.UTOLEDO.EDU
