Release folder #8
Comments
They're checked in these days: look at the two .img files in the root. OTOH I've just figured out how to upload things to the github release page from travis, so I might try to make that work. What compilation problems are you having? |
Thanks David, I found them and have it all working on my NC200 - fantastic work! Out of interest, I tried to compile a quick test using your Assembler, but I get a ZSDOS error M: No Drive. Any thoughts what this may be? |
If it helps, seems to be call 19 in asm.com |
Aha, I know this one --- do |
That is a CP/M ASM distinct oddity and some other did that as well. The CP/M ASM assembler manual explains that and other features. ASM foo creates: foo.hex, foo.prn foo.sym on the current drive It made building large files on small drive possible |
I'm actually thinking that this is such a nasty gotcha that keeping compatibility isn't worth it, and changing the command line interface to be more modern is a good idea. While I'm at it, I should fix the bugs (after finding them first)... |
its CP/M fix that and its dos... ;) The easier way is ASMZ, Zmac, ZASM, ASMZ80, or one of 20+ other assemblers I may have a big advantage as I have working 8080/8085/z80/z180/z280 systems in |
Most of those don't have source, though! And those that do don't have licenses I can use... I found one Z80 assembler which looked really nice; small, fast, flexible, producing .REL object files, with nice clean source code, self-assembling, etc which had no license, no copyright message, and there was one reference to the author on the internet somewhere in a university in Africa. They didn't answer their email. (Oddly, I can't find it any more. I'm sure it was on Retroarchive.) I also contacted Microsoft's open source releasing department regarding their tools, BTW. They were interested, but the IP for all those old tools are apparently tied up in other things and they weren't optimistic. |
The source for a lot of them were from DDJ. So you need to research back to that. Long time ago MS declared a lot of the CP/M 8 bit software as copy as copy can, like other things that relase is lost to the deep reaches of the 'net. They have no technology in the 8 bit stuff in anything other than it was $500US for it no matter what it was or how buggy. Licenses are not a big deal as anything I'd likely use I more than likely bought a copy of anyway Suggestions were made. If you remove that "feature" you have to supply a more than a not about modifications as something would have to be done very differently to accomplish the goals. |
One last and call it closed: Avoids a documentation nightmare. Suggested ASM as named stays compatable and called ASM, a revised version should carry a different name so its not confused with ASM. My AmproLB+ as a large drive so each mountable 8mb partition has specific uses |
Hi, sorry, I think I'm being a bit dim here - I can't find the prebuilt images? |
Ah, sorry --- I got rid of them as they caused horrible diffing problems when checking stuff in or doing merges. It should be possible to upload builds to Github; I've done it for another project. I'll see what I can do... |
Thanks! I'd normally be quite happy building the images myself (much better if I want to tinker), but I'm having problems at the moment (see my other issue). |
Hey David, I know it's a pain, but is there any chance of getting a release folder with the images already built? I've struggled to get the code to compile.
