Apparently, the people here are not familiar with the AMAC syntax.

1. Select a memory location for your program with ORG.
2. Terminate your program somehow (e.g. RTS for return to DOS).
3. Specify the run address as an argument to END.

 

 ORG $6000
MAIN LDA 710
 STA 712
 LDY #1
 RTS

 END MAIN

 

This program changes the border color to the background color and returns to DOS.
LDY #1 is not essential. If missing, some DOSes will report an error when they get back control.
 

Hello Mr Fox. It worked. I tested changing LDA 710 to LDA 711 and added a jump to avoid returning inmediately to be sure that the program was executed:

 

 ORG $6000
MAIN LDA 711
 STA 712
 LDY #1
 JMP MAIN
 RTS

 END MAIN

It changes the background color to pink (it seems that the original background color is black).

 

How did you learn this? 

 

Thanks again.

Hello again. 

 

The program still freezes.

 

I got this test code:

 

I assembly it:

 

Run it and it freezes:

 

I have not been able to find a complete test code written with Atari Macro Assembler in Internet. Can you provide me a complete one and what exactly do i have to do to run it?

 

Thanks.

 

Note: I read the AMA Manual and it says nothing about how to run a program.

From Atari DOS, use the "L. Binary Load" command.

 

It asks for a file. Do I have to insert the object code file? I did and the emulator (atari800win) hung up.

 

I think I should insert the "executable" file, the same way I insert "AMAC" or "MEDIT", but there is not "exec" file like those called TEST, being TEST.OBJ my assembled object file.

Hello. I have made a little program using Program Editor and Atari Macro Assembler suite. When I assemble the program the system creates an object file. How do I execute this object file?

 

The ATA Manual does not say nothing about this.

 

Thanks for your help.
