Short: Enhanced startupcode for assembler v3.9 Author: Kenneth C. Nilsen (kenneth@norconnect.no) Uploader: Kenneth C. Nilsen (kenneth@norconnect.no) Type: dev/asm Replaces: dev/asm/NewStartup* Startup.asm =========== $VER: Startup_asm 3.9 (06.10.96) Copyright © 1995,1996 by Kenneth C. Nilsen (kenneth@norconnect.no). All rights reserved. Currently the most powerful startup code you'll find for your assembler. This source is public domain. Works with any kickstart, chip and configuration. Should work with any assembler. WHAT KIND OF USE? ================= * Checks processor and fpu if wanted. Allowing requirement for this. * Run your program from WB and CLI. * Opens and closes wanted libraries automatically! * Dumps error messages on ALL errors (from 3.5+): too low processor, no FPU, no library, debug info etc. and then exits gracefully. * Parse any kind of arguments. Handles quotes, asterix' etc. Returns null terminated extracted arguments. * Set taskname easily. * Just one include (itself). Need no external includes. * Adds 11 macro commands to your assembler. * Exit with the right return code. * Educational source. Source fully documented. * Source is public domain. * Demo sources follows this archive. NEW FEATURES ============ 3.9: - Added two macros: InitDebugHandler "" DebugDump "Debug text",labelID Powerful debug tool to help you in your programming. The debug macros can easily be activated or deactivated. If deactivated they will not be assembled. - Changed the CPU and MATH check. You now have to activate them the same way as the debug procedure or the check will not be assembled. This will save space in your programs if CPU/MATH check isn't necessary. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 1567 1207 22.9% 07-Oct-96 02:40:58 +StartupExample_CPUMATH.info 1759 590 66.4% 09-Oct-95 17:56:30 +Digital.macs 20789 6694 67.8% 07-Oct-96 03:51:04 +NewStartup.guide 1601 922 42.4% 07-Oct-96 02:40:08 +NewStartup.guide.info 1990 879 55.8% 06-Oct-96 18:25:58 +Sample_header.s 6276 2321 63.0% 06-Oct-96 20:21:16 +Startup_example.s 1567 1207 22.9% 07-Oct-96 02:40:58 +StartupExample_CPUCHECK.info 1567 1212 22.6% 07-Oct-96 02:41:00 +StartupExample_DEBUG.info 1567 1212 22.6% 07-Oct-96 02:41:00 +StartupExample_MATHCHECK.info 1567 1211 22.7% 07-Oct-96 02:41:00 +StartupExample_NONE.info 1820 748 58.9% 06-Oct-96 20:09:12 +StartupExample.readme 1581 903 42.8% 07-Oct-96 02:40:58 +StartupExample.readme.info 1567 1212 22.6% 07-Oct-96 02:40:58 +StartupExample_ALL.info 1460 994 31.9% 06-Oct-96 19:58:50 +StartupExample_CPUCHECK 1380 951 31.0% 06-Oct-96 19:59:00 +StartupExample_MATHCHECK 2540 1528 39.8% 06-Oct-96 19:01:56 +StartupExample_ALL 1556 1050 32.5% 06-Oct-96 19:01:36 +StartupExample_CPUMATH 2264 1345 40.5% 06-Oct-96 19:02:08 +StartupExample_DEBUG 1280 876 31.5% 06-Oct-96 19:01:22 +StartupExample_NONE 14270 5047 64.6% 06-Oct-96 18:46:56 +Startup.asm 6627 2163 67.3% 07-Oct-96 03:12:28 +Startup.asm.stripped 1188 545 54.1% 07-Oct-96 03:15:34 NewStartup39.info 1765 932 47.1% 06-Oct-96 18:25:32 NewStartup39.readme 1188 545 54.1% 07-Oct-96 03:15:34 +Bin.info 1188 543 54.2% 07-Oct-96 03:15:34 +Docs.info 1581 900 43.0% 07-Oct-96 03:15:34 +Startup.asm.info 1581 903 42.8% 07-Oct-96 03:15:34 +Startup.asm.stripped.info 1581 899 43.1% 07-Oct-96 03:15:34 +Startup_example.s.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 86667 39539 54.3% 30-Oct-96 13:15:06 28 files
