Hi
This contains
o !sprite2as(m) }
o !Temp2asm } DDE Front Ends
o !data2asm }
o Library Executables
Aasm does allow you to include data/template/sprite files
to these programs produce output suitable for Aasm. Their are
a few advantages in using these over the separate files:
o Less likely to be infected by virus's
o stop people 'nicking' your templates/sprites
o Less room required for templates, and its easier
to get at indirected data.
Disadvantages:
o changes in the templates/sprites/data files will require
the whole lot to be re-assembled
o sprite files can get very large
Notes:
o if, for example, you have a sprite file called 'Sprites'
to make the wimp look at this sprite file, change the 1
in the template for each window at the sprite pool ptr
(offset r1+64) to Sprites_con_block.
o aconst, in the library directory will tell you whether
you have supplied it with a valid arm constant.
*aconst <number>.
(It's not used by any of the other programs, I just
thought you might find it useful :-)
Next versions:
o Allow Objasm files to be produced and export all symbols
o Allow Temp2asm to know about Sprites file, and which
windows to apply it to
Any problems etc. can be sent to the usual address :-)
