Hi all!
Just bought an A3000. While waiting for it to arrive, I couldn't hold myself but started up my RedSquirrel simulator and I've made a few simple Basic/Asm programs.
1. However, I think it's cumbersome with line number editing. I've seen some Basic/Asm examples that don't use line numbers. Can I start the desktop and access some editor there?
2. Or better yet, is there an Assembler package available for the desktop where I can code/assemble/execute/repeat?
3. I do have ASM 5.04 and installed it on the emulator's hard drive, but it misses files in System:modules and I guess this is because I don't have a complete Risc OS installation on that harddisk, just sparkplug and some games. How can I install what the system and assembler needs?
Thankful for any help, remember that I'm new to the Archimedes way of doing things!

I'm sorry you've waited a while with no replies.
1) Yes. There are a few, however one which you will have is Edit, in your Apps directory. This is essentially an ASCII file editor (ie text editor), but it can read and write BASIC files.
You can create files of several different types from the menu from the icon on the icon bar.
You don't need line numbers if you don't use GOTOs.
2) StrongED does this I think, and perhaps Zap. There have been religious wars between the two, so I stay out of it and use Edit.
3) Assuming you have a !System directory on disk somewhere, you just need to find the modules it asks for on the internet (or elsewhere) and put them inside the modules subdirectory.
Good luck. |
