Pbp + asm

[Charles Linquis]

I'm trying to drop a block of ASM code pretty much "as is" into a PBP program. I have the variables that must be passed between PBP and ASM as BANKA SYSTEM. But the ASM file is too large for PBP. I get the BLOCK OVERFLOW message.

But, when I take major sections of the ASM code and enclose them in the ASM/ENDASM framework (essentiallyl breaking the ASM program into 3 parts), it compiles just fine. The ASM code produced looks OK too. Is this program likely to work, or am I deluding myself?

Sure, that's fine.

Just don't break it in the middle of a macro.
If you do, you can't use the -k# debugging option.

And PBP tries to return to BANK0 on each ASM statement.
If you aren't using PREV_BANK or PBP macros, then it won't know the bank has been changed and won't do anything.
But it sounds like you probably aren't changing banks anyway

Darrel,

Are you contributing to the next version of PBP?

[Darrel Taylor]

No, I answer the support phones, emails and do some of the shipping.

Jeff, Leonard and Charles are so far above my level of programming, not much I can do.
Some testing and debugging is on my plate though, I guess you could call that contributing.
