asm900 assembler & ti-99/4a output

[palmheads]

Hi

 

Under Linux using asm900

 

http://www.cozx.com/~dpitts/ti990.html

 

Does anyone know the "optional TI-99/4A output mode"?

 

The command line does have a -m param that accepts a range of options, none that looks like a ti-99/4a

 

$ ./asm990 --help

asm990 - version 2.2.0

usage: asm990 [-options] -o file.obj file.asm

options:

-a "OP1,OP2" - Assembly options

-c - Cassette mode

-g - Generate symbol table in object

-I includedir - Include directory for COPY

-l file.lst - Generate listing to file.lst

-m model - CPU model = 4, 5, 9, 10, 10A, 12

-o file.obj - Generate object to file.obj

-t - TXMIRA mode

-w - Wide listing

-x - Generate cross reference

cheers

I emailed the author of the above assembler. He also isn't aware of any ti-99/4a specific output mode. The only thing he could think of is the "cassette" option.

Yeah, guess that the description in the Dev. Resources thread is kinda misleading here.

Have to see if it should be removed from the thread, or at least the misleading TI-99/4A mode.

I do recall I was in touch with the author some years ago. I tried the assembler for compiling my Pitfall source code.

However I got some errors I can't recall at the moment. Should go through my emails when I'm at home.

 

Currently your best option would be winasm99, it's pretty much the 'standard'.

 

That being said, I just downloaded asm990 and the latest update was done in October, so it's pretty much still in active development,

what we can't say about winasm99. If there's something missing for the TI-99/4A perhaps it could be added.
