Yo Jon!!!
There is more to adore!!!
Umm, okay, some comments:
==============================
- When I tried to read sectors from a disk in the diskmenu but while
entering the adresses cancelled by pressing ESC (I had to look up the
correct sectors - I forgot them), Compass hung!!! When I tried the same
after a reset, it didn't happen anymore. This has happened twice till now...
I guess it has something to do with the full sourcebuffers.
- I'd be glad if you'd expand the SHOW ERRORS and the SHOW LABELS menus, so
I could walk through them faster by using left-right (next-previous page),
and a search-function, so that if I am looking for the label called LABEL
that I can type L and that the cursor automatically goes forward to all
labels starting with an L.
- If I start Compass without commandline, most of the time it auto-loads a
file into the first sourcebuffer. Why does this happen? How can I
change/disable this??? If I want a file to auto-load I will give the
filename on the commandline of Compass (in a Batchfile). When I execute
Compass without commandline I don't want it to auto-load a file. It's
annoying.
- There was something else but I forgot...
I have a lot of problems with accidentally overwriting other sourcecode...
Some solutions:
=================
- When I select DELETE SOURCE, the filename isn't deleted. So if I enter
some new code, and accidentally save it before typing the new name I am once
again in trouble. Because I worked with that filename before it will look
familiar to me so I then -accidentally- assume I saved before and that the
name is already filled in... got it?
- When I load for example a text (let's say DISKVAR.TXT) in sourcebuffer 4,
and then I continue with my work in another sourcebuffer. When I have
changed what I was looking for I save the file. But OH NO!!! Once again, I
pressed SAVE too fast, and now I forgot to set the type back to ASM. Bam,
textfile gone. Backing up my sources, okay, I can understand that. but
backing up my textfiles??? Another one: I load a sector from drive G:. Then
I want to save it on harddrive F:, my default drive. However, sector- and
datafiles use the same buffer for the drive/directoryname. So, I
accidentally save the datafile on drive G:. Drat. Now I can PUTDISK the
entire disk again, because now it's completely corrupted...
Morale of the above:
-Keep up which type of data every sourcebuffer uses, and
-Buffer the entire drive/directory/filename for every filetype and that for
every sourcebuffer.
Doing it otherwise (that is, the way it now works) is very confusing.
And some things I already have told you but I hope you definately won't
forget to put in the next version:
==============================================
- Compass still doesn't correctly support the INCLUDE-command (or whatever
it is. INCLUDE 2 works nice, the source of the 2nd sourcebuffer is included.
INCLUDE 2,"SUBS.ASM" however doesn't work, when Assembling to disk Compass
terminates to Dos.
- If you put a filename behind Compass then the file is loaded into the
sourcebuffer. However, I'd like to have the feature to put 4 filenames
behind Compass, which would then auto-load all 4 sourcebuffers.
- If Compass auto-loads a file, as well via the commandline as via the
INCLUDE command, it forgets to put the filename into the buffer of the
diskmenu. So if I want to save, I have to type the name anyway. And why do I
auto-load? Because I am too lazy to type in the filename by myself... So
then it's stupid if I have to type it in later as well.
