@NODE About "About Asm-Pro."
@{BEGCENTER}@{B}@{U}About Asm-Pro@{UU}@{UB}@{ENDCENTER}

Asm-Pro is a MC680x0 marco assembler with integrated editor, debugger, linker and monitor for our Amiga. With this program you have all the tools you need for the development of new software in assembly. It has full mc680x0, FPU and MMU support (and ppc support will be added asap).

This is a work in progress project and work will continue slowly but surely...

Feel free to tell me what you think of it and report me any bugs you might find. But first check the known bugs section in the @{"history file"   LINK "Asm-Pro_History.txt/main"} and check my homepage for a newer version of Asm-Pro and/or the Historyfile.

Check out @{"the story"   LINK thestory} for more background info.

@NODE thestory "Asm-Pro - The story."

@{BEGCENTER}@{B}@{U}Asm-Pro, the story...@{UU}@{UB}@{ENDCENTER}

Asm-Pro was inspired by the great Asm-One by TFA (v1.28). I started this project after I used Trashm'one (with it's nice inciff) for a while but it doesn't undestand 68020+ code and Asm-One does but had no inciff. So I desided to combine the two and also make it more system friendly.

There are a lot of changes and improvements over asm-one v1.28. The biggest change is that I wrote the entire editor and all other character output stuff 2 be system friendly so it also works on your favourite gfx-board. For a list of new features and updates see the major changes and for a more detailed description I suggest you read the @{"history file"   LINK "Asm-Pro_History.txt/main"}.


@{B}Major Changes:@{UB}

- Editor and other text output is system friendly now and works great on your favourite gfx-card.
- Redisign of the Asm-Pro look.
- Included a font requester and made the editor font sensitive.
- New gui for starting up Asm-Pro, workspace mem type and size can be saved with wp (write prefs).
- Multiple source file extentions (try "(.s|.asm|.i)" as source extention to get all sources and includes in the file requester.)
- Debug registers have there own window.
- Stack size can be changed from shell or icon so even very big sources don't crash you system.
- Added the new mc68060 commands.
- Changed blok insert from Amiga-i to Amiga-v (amiga-i will still work though).
- Included my own IncIFFp routines, so it works now.
- Syntax coloring added (comments and labels).
- Added %getdate and %gettime it returns system time and date in ascii.
- Set mark keys should now also work with other keymaps (like swedish
  or german) So pressing Amiga+Shift+2 will set Mark 2 etc. same goes
  for delete conditions in debugmode.
  Mapped AGA guide from Amiga-= to HELP-key so it won't get in the way.
- System friendly and custom scroll routine (for speed).

@NODE Requirements "Requirements..."
@{BEGCENTER}@{B}@{U}Requirements@{UU}@{UB}@{ENDCENTER}

Asm-Pro @{VERSIE} needs the following configuration of hardware and software to be present:

· Any Amiga equipped with an MC680x0
· Kickstart version V2.04 or above
· Asl.Library
· ReqTools.Library
· MathTrans.Library

@ENDNODE



@NODE Install "Installation"

@{BEGCENTER}@{B}@{U}Installation@{UU}@{UB}@{ENDCENTER}


- Create an Asm-Pro directory on your favourite drive and copy all files/dirs from the archive to this directory.
- Optional you can assign "Asmpro:" to this directory so the Asm-Pro.guide and the Regsdata file can be found.

I am sure you've got the system include files so they are not included. If you don't you should get the Amiga developer CD.
I suggest you put the include files in AsmPro:Include/

@NODE PROJECT "Project"

@{BEGCENTER}@{B}@{U}PROJECT@{UU}@{UB}@{ENDCENTER}

@{B}ZS  -   Zap Source@{UB}
Deletes the program text, the copybuffer (clipboard) and the code.
The program text can be undeleted with the "o" (old source) command but 
only if there is no new source text entered in the editor window.

@{B}O   -   Old Source@{UB}
With this command you can retrieve the source text after a zs command.

@{B}R   -   Read@{UB}
Reads a source text into the editor. Asm-Pro asumes it is a ASCII text.
If you want to alter the normal .s extension change "PROJECT/PREFERENCES/SOURCES.S".


@{B}RB  -   Read Binary@{UB}
This command will load binary data into a memory address.
After the file name the start and end address will be asked.
    BEG>
    END>

BEG (Begin) is the first address that will be filled with data, END (End) the last.

    BEG>$70000
    END>$71000

Loads the first $1000(=4096 bytes) from a binary file into the memory, starting
at address $70000. To load the complete file leave the END> empty.
Example :

    BEG>$70000
    END>


@{B}RO  -   Read Object@{UB}
Reads an executable into memory. It is sometimes possible 
to execute it. 

Some programms require input from the CLI. To get this right you must 
fill in the registers A(pointer to parameters) and D (Length) yourself or
use the PS command.

When loading an empty executable (" ") all memory is cleared.
 
@{B}W   -  Write@{UB}
Writes the source code to a file. The file is a normal ASCII file so editing with
other text editors is also possible.

Usual the .S extension will be placed behind the name. If you want a different extension
switch of the "PROJECT/PREFERENCES/SOURCE.S". Now you can choose your
own extension with the !.[extension] commando. Example:
	>!.asm

@{B}WB - Write binary@{UB}
Writes a binary file to disk. You have to give the begin and end address.
Example:
	BEG>$70000
	END>$71000

Saves $1000(=4096 bytes) from address $70000 as a binairy file.

@{B}WO - Write Object@{UB}
After assembling it is possible with the WO command to write the object/executable to disk.
Use WL to write a Linkfile.

@{B}I - Insert@{UB}
With this command it is possible to insert a text file into the excisting
source text.


@{B}U - Update File@{UB}
Writes the source text to disk, updating the file. Same as W (write).


@{B}ZF - Zap File@{UB}
Deletes a file from disk.


@{B}Zi - Zap Include memory@{UB}
Deletes include files from memory. The include files are kept in memory 
to speed up the assembling proces.

@{B}Wp - Write Preferences@{UB}
Creates or updates the Asm-Pro.Pref file. 


@{B}=M - Expand Memory@{UB}
This command makes it possible to expand the working memory
(as long as there is memory available) whithout losing anything.

@{B}!  - Quit Assembler@{UB}
Quits Asm-Pro. No changes are saved and memory is erased.

@{B}!! - Quit Assembler Fast@{UB}
Same as Quit Assembler but no requesters are shown and nothing is saved.


@{B}=C - Change Colors@{UB}
To overide the standard preferences colors you can use this command.
A window will appear making it possible to adjust the colors.

@{B}T- / Top of file@{UB}
Jumps to the line number specified, otherwise jumps to the start of the source.

>T100 : Jumps to line 100 
>T    : Jumps to the start of the source 
>t-1  : Jumps to the end of the source 
 
@{B}L- Locate text@{UB} 
Searches for the string specified. 
 
>Lmove : Searches for all move operands in the source.  
To search again simply type : >L 
 
NOTE : Between the L commando and the string cannot be a space. 
 
@{B}ZL- Zap Lines@{UB} 
Deletes all lines from actual cursor position. 
>ZL100 : deletes 100 lines from actual cursor position. 
>ZL-1  : deletes all lines from actual cursor position. 
 
@{B}P- Print Lines@{UB} 
Prints from cursor position the amount of lines specified. 
To print the lines select "Project/Preferences/Printerdump" or press 
Ctrl-P.  
>P100 : Prints 100 lines from cursor position 
>P-1  : Prints all lines from cursor position 
 
@{B}EL- Extend Lables@{UB} 
If more than one programmer is working on the same source, there is a change 
that lable names are used more than once. To avoid this the EL commando 
is usefull  
Asm-Pro will ask with what you want to extend the lables: 
Extend Lables with>

@NODE MEMORY "Memory"
 
@{BEGCENTER}@{B}@{U}MEMORY@{UU}@{UB}@{ENDCENTER}


@{B}M- Memory Edit@{UB} 
Gives direct edit possibility in memory. You can enter text or hexadecimal values. 

To get word or longword mem dumps use the extensions .w or .l (or.b) like this:

>m.w$1200
00001200 FF60 F22E F0C0 FFDC 2D6E
 
@{B}D,@D- DisAssemble@{UB} 
Goes to the assemble modus, the memory is disassembled. You can scroll, jump and 
edit. To undo changes press Escape (see 5.6 and 9) 
 
With @D you only get 12 lines on your screen, so half-screen. 
 
@{B}H,@H- HexDump@{UB} 
Goes to the hexdump modus. Again you can scroll, jump and 
edit. If you want to edit longwords the H.L commando is more interesting. 
With this you can edit complete longwords instead of just bytes. (see 5.6 and 9) 
With @H you only get 12 lines on your screen, so half-screen. 

See Memory Edit for output formats.
 
@{B}N@N - AsciiDump@{UB} 
Goes to the ASCII modus. Again you can scroll, jump and edit. The view 
is in rows of 64 letters and again you only get 12 lines on your screen, so half-screen. 
 
@{B}@A - Assemble mem@{UB} 
Assembles directly into memory. 
 
@{B}@B - BinaryDump@{UB} 
Displayed is a view with 8 lines of binary data. 
 
Also see Memory Edit for output formats.

@{B}S - Search in memory@{UB} 
Example: 
>S 
Beg>$10000 
END>$20000 
After entering the start and end address you can enter the data you want to search 
DATA>123  /or 4321.I /or "hello" /or $4532.w /or %101001.b 
Default search size is byte. 
 
@{B}F - Fill Memory@{UB} 
Be carefull with this commando. If you fill the wrong part of the memory 
you can crash the program or even your computer. 
 
@{B}C- Copy Memory@{UB} 
Copies a part of the memory to an other part of the memory.

@{B}ID - Insert DisAssemble@{UB} 
This is a very powerful commando. It gives you the ability to disassemble 
memory and place it directly into the source code. 
The new code will be supplied with lables (if possible), so it is ready for use. 
The one disadvantage is that the commando is rather slow. For the real 
disassemble work you can better use Resource or some other proper program. 
 
@{B}IH - Insert Hexdump@{UB} 
Gives you the possibility to add hexadecimale text into your source code. 
 
@{B}IN- Insert ASCII@{UB} 
Gives you the possibility to add text as DC.B strings into your source code. 
It wil automatically use hexadecimales if not defined as ASCII. 
 
@{B}IB - Insert Binary@{UB} 
Gives you the possibility to add binary as DC.B into your source code. 
 
@{B}IS - Insert Sinus@{UB} 
Gives you the possibility to add a Sinus into your source code.

Read sectors from a disk. An Amiga disk has 80 tracks on each side which are 
seperated into 11 sectors. This makes 80*2*11 = 1760 sectors, each sector is 
512 bytes large. The bootblock consist of 2 sectors, starting at sector 0. 
The naame of the disk is in the rootblock which can be found on track 80. 
Example : 
To read the bootblock of DF1: into address $70000  
>RS1 : diskdrive 1 
RAM PTR>$70000 : Pointer to RAM-address 
DISK PTR>0 : Sector number 
LENGTH>2 : Amount of sectors to read

With this information it determinse what kind of disk it is, KICK=Kickstart, 
DOS=dos, BAD=unknow format. 
The bootblock can also contain a executable. To check if the data is usable, 
the systems checks the chekcksum. With CC this checksum can be recalculated. 
This can be useful when programming your own bootblock or in case of a virus. 
Example: 
>CC1 
Will calculate the checksum on the bootblock in DF1: 
When a RS1 or RT1 commando is issued, the checksum will automatic 
be calculated.

Don't know where to place this info so here it is:
I also implemented a custom scroll routine (using the cpu) to speed up scrolling in the editor. This is only usefull when you don't have a gfx-card as it is NOT system friendly..
The custom scroll routine ONLY works if you have a screen that is 640 wide.
It works great on a MULTISCAN:Productivity screen and scrolling is almost two times faster (on my 040) than with system routines.
This option can be activated in the Env Prefs window ("Custom Scrollr.").

If you have problems using the editor on your config, like key repeat problems etc. (if you do you'll know what I meen), try switching on the "scroll sync" option in the Env Prefs window. If this doesn't help please report back to me.

@NODE getdate "Special features - %Getdate/%Gettime."
@{BEGCENTER}@{B}@{U}Special features - %Getdate/%Gettime.@{UU}@{UB}@{ENDCENTER}


  Implemented %getdate and %gettime these commands will generate the
  current date or timestring. this is usefull for a version string or about
  window.

  %getdate [dateformat]
  %gettime

  [dateformat] is optional and, when not specified, will default to the dos dateformat (FORMAT_DOS).
  Dateformat accepts all dateformats as listed in dos/datetime.i and shown here:

	FORMAT_DOS      equ     0               ; dd-mmm-yy
	FORMAT_INT      equ     1               ; yy-mm-dd
	FORMAT_USA      equ     2               ; mm-dd-yy
	FORMAT_CDN      equ     3               ; <see below>
	FORMAT_MAX      equ     FORMAT_CDN

There is one exception to the include and that is the FORMAT_CDN (or 3).
If you use FORMAT_CDN it wil produce a datestring like "dd.mm.yy" and this is very usefull for version strings: $VER <name> <version>.<revision> (dd.mm.yy)

It works like this:

versionstring:
        dc.b    "$VER: Asm-Pro v1.11a ("
        %getdate FORMAT_CDN
        dc.b    ") By Solo/Genetic.",0

This will generate the following version string:

	dc.b	"$VER: Asm-Pro V1.11a (03.06.98) By Solo/Genetic.",0

OR:

About:
	dc.b	'Assemble date: '
	%getdate
	dc.b	0

Will produce a string like this:

dc.b	"Assemble date: 03-Jun-98",0

Same goes for %gettime (ex. "21:06:09").

==============================================================================


- With Inclink you can add linkobjects to the current section.

  Like this:

  test:
	inclink "ram:testobj.o"

  It reads a linkobject file, Relocs it and gets the symbols.  Inclink can
  only handle 1 section per file and it is put in current section.

  These Commands Can be used to make definitions

  - xref   (external reference)  a label you want from the main file
  - xdef
  - globl
  - global
  - extern (external definition) a label you will send to main file

  Use the command write-link (WL) to save a linkfile..


E.g.

Try this little source and write it as an linkobject (with WL)

    xdef    start

one:
    nop
    nop
    rts

now you can include it like this:

two:
    inclink    work3:test/link.o

and the symboltable (=S) will contain both the one and two labels :)) the link
object will be placed in the current section and thus only one section is
allowed..

Q: Why is the editor so slow (on AGA)?
A: You should reduce the screensize and/or use less bitplanes for the Asm-Pro screen. You can also speed up the editor by turning off the syntax coloring.
If you have ECS/AGA you could turn on the custom scroll routine for more speed. This will NOT work on any gfx-card.

Q: Why does the instruction xxx not work or crash my Amiga?
A: Send me a bug report :)

Q: How come the colors prefs window shows 256 colors and the max should be 16?
A: This should only happen on gfx boards. Try selecting a 8-bit screenmode and it will work ok. Reqtools doesn't seem to like screensmodes with more than 256 colors.

Q: When I try to write the executable (WO) of my very big assembled source with lots of labels, Asm-Pro crashes?!
A: Raising the stacksize for Asm-Pro will fix this problem. The default stacksize is 20kb and is not enough for big sources with lots of labels. I use 60kb and it works fine for my 900kb source.
