[comp.sys.tandy] Model II edtasm

mbeast@attcan.UUCP (The Ascii GOD) (08/05/88)

Well, I am finally getting around to finishing up a graphics package I have
written for the hires board in my Model II using m80 and l80 (macro
assembler). I have some quick routines I want to write using edtasm but
cannot figure out the load command within edtasm

	ie. how do I load a source file into edtasm.

I am a veteran Model I/III/IV user and have tried all of the obvious (and
not so obvious) ways. I have tried R/S as well (you try to find a R/S
salesrep or CSR who knows what a Model II is let alone 'edtasm' :-)


E-mail responses only please. Thanks in advance.

	I seem to remember Model 1/3 edtasm had some God awful format and
	if you tried to load in an ascii file it went belly up. Not sure
	of the format but it was something like:

	1) 2 bytes pointer to next line.
	2) 2 bytes line number.
	3) Actual text

	1 was an absolute memory address. I solved the problem on the Model
	1/3 by buying EDAS and MRAS from Misosys, I don't think that will
	help you much. For you old timer's you'll note the format is the
	same as ROM basic used for storing lines.
