Ken, Is there an update on a new release of VirtualT with a working assembler IDE, for either the OS X or Linux version? I'm working on a little computer art project based on the ModelTs and would really benefit from testing some ideas in VirtualT.
Thanks!

I think I have the '$' referencing figured out. I can alway shoot you a pre-release compiled binary directly if you want. I've been known to do that in the past.

Thanks for the warning about '$' - in fact one reason I'm switching to your assembler from my not-quite-done one is so that I can use '$'. Any idea when you'll have VT 1.7 ready?

I did notice that while the assembler is properly accepting the $ "current PC value" token, it isn't using it properly in equations. It seems to always have the value zero. Probably a simple change and I'll be sure to fix it in VT 1.7. Also, a few other notes: Items in col 1 are considered either labels or equate names. So things like .list, .aseg and org need to be indented. Also when Putting \ in a string, it should be entered as \\ since \ is used as an escape sequence for things like tab ( \t ), new line and CR ( \n \r ) etc. Ken Sent from my iPhone On Mar 8, 2015, at 12:14 PM, Clinton Reddekop <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Ha! Didn't even know that pane was there. Problem solved. Thank you for your help.

It tries to build but gets some assembly errors that I can help resolve. You said you don't get any response when selecting build? Do you have the lower tile pane in the IDE visible? It should show tabs for Build, Debug an Watch (though only Build is currently used).

I almost have VirtualT 1.7 ready for release … it adds some much needed features to the IDE / assembler.

Unfortunately building the project still appears to do nothing.

Be sure to add your .asm and .lkr files to the project (right click on the project tree categories to add files. Be sure to save your project.

The assembled output will be programmed into an OPT ROM starting at address 0. I chose Assembly ROM for the Project Type. I added an assembly file z100.asm. In my project directory I see: z100.asm z100.ide z100.prj Choosing Build or Rebuild in the IDE doesn't appear to do anything. Any idea why? I'm wondering if I need a linker file. My z100.asm file starts with .list .aseg org 0 so is that good enough? If not, what is the minimum I can get away with for a linker file?

This sample will work with VirtualT 1.6, although the "Auto Load after Build" feature will only work in 1.6 if you issue a "Cold Boot" between each build. Otherwise the bug that exists in v1.6 for deleting existing .CO files will cause corruption. This example doesn't really do much other than show how to use the IDE and provide some documentation on how to use the relocating assembler / linker, etc. http://www.club100.org/memfiles/index.php?direction=&order=&directory=Ken%20Pettit/VirtualT%20IDE/Sample&; Ken
