R. Swan's A72 assembler 1.05 (self-assembling, 8k .COM) (Developers)

posted by Rugxulo Homepage, Usono, 20.11.2023, 10:44

A72 1.05 was released on Oct. 9 on Github.

Changes:
* Listings are generated by default along with binary output. To have only one or the other, use the /L or /A switch, respectively (e.g. "a72 my.asm /a")
* Listings have line numbers
* Symbol tables, alphabetically sorted, are appended to listings
* More modular construction; in particular, the CPU-specific assembler module is exchangeable (6502, 8085)
* HIGH, LOW, INCBIN, ECHO, TITLE, PAGE directives added
* Lines can be 255 characters long (previously 120-something) and generate an error otherwise
* LF now recognised as valid line terminator alongside CR
* 8087 not supported after 1.04 until I have figured out how to work with floating point numerics and encoding

N.B. As of four days ago, there is also a minor update, but it has been renamed to RA. I don't know if major work is going on there or what will happen.
