S-C Macro Assembler 3.0

Tech Note - S-C Macro Assembler 3.0

Source Code Files

This is the source code for a never-released version which (according to the file-modification dates) I was working on as late as November 14, 1990. I am pretty sure that I was actually using this version both to assemble itself, and to work on projects for Applied Engineering (my employer at the time).

The source code for this version of S-C Macro Assembler was in three folders (on an Applied Engineering Vulcan Hard Drive): ASM1, ASM2, ASM65816, and SCI. It consisted of many separate files.

A control file in ASM1, named X.ACF, contains .INB operators to include all of the source files in the proper order for the main part of the assembler. This part was "general", in that it could be used with any of a number of "particular" assemblers for various microprocessors.

A control file in ASM65816 assembles the "particular" assembler for the chips used in the Apple II family: 6502, 65C02, 65802, and 65816.

A control file in SCI assembles the S-C ProDOS Interface.

Optional 80-column drivers may be assembled also.

After assembling all the parts mentioned above, I would BLOAD the various parts and BSAVE a packaged BRUN-able file. This will be explained more later.

"General" Assembler

• ASM1/X.ACF
• ASM2/SC.LOADER
• ASM2/X.DATA
• ASM2/X.PARAMETERS
• ASM2/X.EDIT
• ASM2/X.MISC.COMMANDS
• ASM2/X.SEARCH.COMMA
• ASM2/X.TEXT.SEARCH
• ASM2/X.FIND.AND.REP
• ASM2/X.READ.LINE
• ASM2/X.EDIT.LINES
• ASM2/X.OUTPUT.ROUTI
• ASM2/X.DISK.OPERATI
• ASM2/X.PARSE.LINE.R
• ASM2/X.ASM.GENERAL
• ASM2/X.ASM.NEXT.LINE
• ASM2/X.EXPRESSION.C
• ASM2/X.SYMBOL.TABLE
• ASM2/X.PRINT.SYMBOLS
• ASM2/X.MACRO
• ASM2/X.DIRECTIVES.1
• ASM2/X.DIRECTIVES.2
• ASM2/X.AC.DIRECTIVE
• ASM1/X.NEW.QUOTES
• ASM1/X.TABLES.DIREC
• ASM1/X.ASM.VECTORS
• ASM1/IO.STANDARD

80-column Display Drivers

These additional source files are needed to handle 80-column displays. Each of the files in ASM1/ starting with "IO." should be assembled separately, without a control file.

• ASM1/IO.STB80
• ASM1/IO.TWO.E
• ASM1/IO.ULTRA
• ASM1/IO.VIDEX

"Particular" Assembler: 6502, 65C02, R65C02, 65802, 65816

These additional source files are needed to configure the assembler to assemble for various versions of the 6502 family (6502, 65C02, R65C02, 65802, 65816) and for Steve Wozniak's Sweet-16 interpreter. There should be a control file with .INB's for these, and with a .TF for the output, but I cannot find it.

• ASM65816/X.ACF
• ASM65816/X.DATA (Exact copy of ASM2/X.DATA)
• ASM65816/X.ASM.LINKAGE
• ASM65816/X.ASM.65816.1
• ASM65816/X.ASM.65816.2
• ASM65816/X.OP.DIRECTIVE
• ASM65816/X.TABLES.65816

S-C ProDOS Interface

All of the above depends on having another package, which I called "S-C ProDOS Interface", in the SCI folder.

• SCI/SC
• SCI/SC.EQUATES
• SCI/SC.COMMAND.PAR
• SCI/SC.CATALOG
• SCI/SC.EXEC
• SCI/SC.ONLINE
• SCI/SC.PR.IN
• SCI/SC.ERRORS
• SCI/SC.LOAD.SAVE
• SCI/SC.OPEN.CLOSE
• SCI/SC.RWPA
• SCI/SC.TABLES
• SCI/SC.VARIABLES
• SCI/SC.GLOBAL.PAGE
• SCI/S.NOW (I don't remember what this one does.)

Another "Particular" Assembler: Motorola 6811

My plan, as I faintly remember it, was to upgrade all of the cross assemblers to work as plug-ins to the "General" assembler. I did convert the Motorola 6811 cross assembler, although it has not been thoroughly tested.

• ASM6811/X.ACF
• ASM6811/X.DATA (Exact copy of ASM2/X.DATA)
• ASM6811/XASM.LOADER
• ASM6811/X.ASM.LINKAGE
• ASM6811/X.ASM.6811
• ASM6811/X.OP.DIRECTIVE
• ASM6811/OPTEST.6811 (Test file)
