Assembler without line numbers?

[+Larry]

I have a pretty large asm source file for the Atari that has no line numbers. Is there an assembler for the Atari that either accepts this type of source file or (better) one that will accpt this type file and adds line numbers as it reads the file?

Thanks,

Larry

I use AMAC myself, it's a copy of it (I removed the protection) at : http://games.nmi.no/atari/a8util.htm

 

search for amac and download

 

Good luck

Do you really use an assembler on Atari?

I really recommend trying a cross-assembler like X-asm, or (even better) MADS.

They both use 'normal' structure (no line numbers).

Mac-65 lets you.

 

ENTER #<filespec>,A

 

will enter the program and generate the line numbers for you.

I do, I am not too fond of emulators either, but they do have a purpose I guess. If not for emulators, I don't think there would be easy to get a lot of the software we now can have.

 

What do you use to get the files to real Atari? Do you make ATR files or what?

 

Take Atarian care

depends... with sio2pc devices i tend to kopie ATRs directly on my flash drive to mount on atari. as i am using MADS assembler plus XBOOT (turns atari .xex files into ATRs) i am turning my sources into .xex and ATRs... but when something is finished for release i tend to use .xex as people might copy the file directly on large ATRs or on real 5,25 discs in a compilation.

Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions.

 

I have Mac-65 (but have used it a little, as you can probably tell!). But the above worked perfectly, as Rybags states.

Had no clue the M65 could do that. When in doubt, get out the manual, I guess!

If you also use a PC desktop or laptop w/parallel port, you can also try the following which has an Atari assembler built-in and let's you "cross-execute" your compilation:

It uses labels instead of line numbers.
