is
typically
used
for ASCII source files,
is automatically
supplied as a default if no suffix is entered on the
command
line.
Thus,
the user need only specify the name of the file
to be edited.
Upon completion of an edit:
'toe rile
name
will
be
unchanged.
That
is,
a user need not be conceT'ned about
renaming his files
bet~een
edits.
A
complete
desc~iption
of
the
EDIT
command's
format and usage is round in the manual
accompanying the EDIT command
diskette,
"M6800

Editor Reference Manual".
2.8.3 ASM or RASM -- ProgT'am assembling
The
ASM
and
RASM
commands
rOT'
MDOS
and
RASMC9
command
faT'
MDOS09
(hereafter called
the
assemblers)
are
used
to
assemble
the
source
program
files
created
with the
EDIT
command.
The assemblers translate these source programs into
object
programs.
The
assemblers,
although
both
MOOS-Supported
so~tware
products
which
may
be
purchased
separatelYI
are
mentioned
here
since
they
are
such
an
integral part of the software
development
environment.
I~
not included on the
MDOS
system
dis~etteJ
the assemblers must
be copied from the diskette on which they were
shipped
(see
section
2.8.9).

If
the
assemblers
are not copied to the system diskette in
drive zero,
they can be invoked from the
diskette
in
d-rive
one by using the following command line:
{ASM: 1
or
RASM: 1
or RASM09: 1}
<name~
Ci<options~]
The only
re~uired
parameter is the name of the
~ile
that"
is to be assembled.
Normally,
this lIIould be the name of
the
rile
speciried
in
the
previous
description
or
the EDIT
command.
The
assemblers
will
automatically
supply
the
default suffix for both the source file that is read
(SA)
and
rOT' the object File that is created (LX}
assuming
that
the
OPT
REL
OT"
OPT ABS
assembler directive was not used),
Such
an object
file
will
be
in
the
standard,
EXbug-loadable
format.
Such
files cannot,
however}
be loaded by
MDOS
(see
section
2.8.5).
The obJect
Tile
will have the same file name
as
<name~,
but a different suffix will be assigned to it to
differentiate it from the
sou~c~
file.
Normally, a listing or the assembled program is desired.
"~
lne
assemblers
will
not
p~oduce
a source listing unless the
option to do so is specified in the
<options~
field.
