' Absolute Assembly by Petter Holmberg, -97. Ver. 1.1beta:                   '
'                                                                            '
' I recently started using DEBUG to create Assembler routines for BASIC with '
' CALL ABSOLUTE. It didn't took me very long to discover that turning        '
' Assembler code into a BASIC string with machine language was a long and    '
' tedious process. Working with the code in a text file instead of directly  '
' from within DEBUG and then then type:                                      '
' DEBUG < sourcefile > destfile                                              '
' made it a little easier, but it was still a lot of work.                   '
' Before the first run through DEBUG, there's no way of knowing how many     '
' bytes of code to unassemble, and after the second run when the source file '
' was modified to unassemble the correct number of bytes, there was still a  '
' lot of work moving the machine code to BASIC. If you have tried yourself,  '
' you know what I mean.                                                      '
' So I made a program to do the work for me. Absolute Assembly 1.0.          '
' But soon after I had finished Absolute Assembly 1.0, I needed to do a      '
' routine with a JMP instruction. So I made this new version with support    '
' for line labels and comments.                                              '
' This program will let you choose a text file with assembler instructions,  '
' a destination file name and a string variable name. The result will be a   '
' set of commented BASIC lines in the destination file which declares a      '
' string with the name you have chosen, ready to be executed.                '
' Ex:                                                                        '
'                                                                            '
' You have a text file looking like this:                                    '
'                                                                            '
'          XOR AX, AX   ; Set AX to 0.                                       '
'          MOV CX, 10   ; Prepare for a loop.                                '
' TheLoop: INC AX       ; Increase AX.                                       '
'          LOOP TheLoop ; Loop 10 times.                                     '
'          RETF         ; Return to BASIC.                                   '
'                                                                            '
' Run it through this program and you will get these lines moved into a      '
' selected QBASIC program:                                                   '
'                                                                            '
' asm$ = ""                                                                  '

' þ All lines in the source file must have one Assembler instruction in it.  '
'   Don't use blank lines or lines with just comments.                       '
' þ Comments must start with a semicolon, (;).                               '
' þ The maximum number of labels is 256. You shouldn't need half as much.    '
' þ The maximum number of letters for a label is 16. It's easy to change     '
'   the program to accept a larger number, but it's probably not necessary.  '
' þ A label must be immediately followed by a colon, (:).                    '
' þ Never use Assembly opcodes or numbers as labels.                         '
' þ "Label:" and "label:" are processed as different labels.                 '
' þ Do not write lines like: REP MOVSB. When assembling, DEBUG will divide   '
'   this into two lines; REPZ and MOVSB. This will mess up everything for    '
'   this program. Sorry, I didn't bother to write any code to handle such    '
'   occurrences.                                                             '
' þ This program was made in QB45, but you should be able to run it in       '
'   QBASIC, PDS, VBDOS and PB as well.                                       '
' þ I haven't really tested this program for bugs, so please be patient with '
'   me. :)                                                                   '
' þ Any comments/suggestions can be sent to: petter.holmberg@usa.net         '
' þ I know, I know, the source code is VERY crappy, but I wrote this in just '
'   an hour or two and it works! Maybe I'll add some more functions later... '
