I think I'm about ready to upload a new #riscOS version of #asm80, an intel 8080 & 8085 cross assembler.

No changes to the core assembler but it now has a cli option to understand #DDE style filenames ( asm.file instead of file/asm) for use under #AMU.

of course, GNU m4, even compiled as a proper native #RiscOS app, wants unix directory seperators, so it can't find am4.nmiled it wants am4/nmiled

#ASM80 is my code this point and, told to load asm.nmiled tries to find asm.nmiled/asm but I can do something about that myself!

Actually playing with #asm80 under #RiscOS and asm80 is fine, but the #hex2bin app I got off the net always starts its output file at 0000h!

Fine if you're building a boot rom, annoying if building a CP/M .com, really annoying if building a #m100 RAM binary (that probably starts at like F000h!)

So its either find/write a better hex2bin or find/write a utility to strip binary padding off... Neither is really hard, im just lazy...

humm, when you specify multiple files on the cli with #asm80 the files are all assembled, but they are assembled separately...

If they were all assembled together, that would eliminate probably 90% of my need for a preprocessor...

My boss is on a rampage so I'm promising nothing!
