This occurs w/activating a file loaded in SXKey v3.10. Can this notice be turned off? It is a nuisance.

    Sure: Go to Run \ Configure..., select Assembler and make sure SASM is checked.

    Jon,

    I have been using Parallax's assembler. Point me to the place where I can easily discover all the 'gotcha's' I would trip over switching from Parallax to SASM. I would really rather code than learn new ways to code.

    Thanx,

    If I remember correctly, the spiral book which came with the SX Tech Tool Kit details the differences between the two. The main difference is the DEVICE parameters are different, though other differences exist.

    Fred,

    I highly suggest to switch to SASM because the Parallax assembler is out-dated, and will not be supported in the future no matter if you want to use SXSim, or not. The reason for this message is that SXSim relies on the LST file format created by SASM which is different from the one generated by the Parallax assembler. The next edition of the "spiral book" will no longer cover the Parallax assembler anyway.

    Gunther,

    I'm a man.
    But I can Change.
    If I have to.
    I guess.

    ...but not at this moment in time.

    In light of what you say, I will move to SASM, however I cannot do so now. I have a considerable amount of code developed under Parallax's assembler. I'll be OK using v3.0 for now.

    I have poked a little fun at SASM but been dissatisfied due to my unfamiliarity with it and the need to get on with the project.

    Let me reiterate the question I posed to Jon, is there a summary document delineating the differences between the two or are they to numerous to mention?

    Thanks for the follow-up,

    Fred Ornellas

    Paul,

    Thanks for your heads up. The manual v2.0 has just such a page. I have been working from a v1.1 manual.

    Thanks All. I think I'm on my own.

    If you care to try, you might be able to create a batch file or other program that would do the job semi-automatically. I would be happy to host that if it were developed.

    I love the Red Green Show. Yeah I checked last night and the conversion chart for Parallax assembler to SASM is Chapter 9 in my version.
