RE: Object Code relocator.
The only thing close to relocatable code generator for Atari 8 bits
that I have heard of, is a back-end thing done by Keith Ledbetter. It
is takes as input 2 object files compiled at origins $102 bytes apart,
and attaches some relocating code. It imposes a few constraints on how
to reference memory. It also doesn't take into account SpartaDOS and
DOS XL (I believe they will try to enter the code at the load point
after processing the INIT and RUN vectors like Atari DOS... which will
crash the system unless you "manually" put an RTS at the load-point, I
think)
Sounds like John Dunning is going to brew us up another nifty tool
here; in the meantime does anybody want Keith Ledbetter's relocatable
code generator? I can post it with Docs within a week if anybody wants...
