George Gwilt's Programs
I wanted to check if I had the latest copies of George's assemblers GWASL and GWASS and discovered that http://gwiltprogs.info is no longer present, other than a blank landing page. It would be a huge shame if George's programs vanished from the world, in my opinion, so I have set them up on the Sin...

Re: Happy Birthday!
Thanks Dilwyn.
Unfortunately, the pickling fluids were too strong, so there's still half a bottle in the fridge! So Alison had a tea while I had a decaff! I also fixed some plumbing problems with the shower head thingy attached to the bath mixer taps. Living the dream!
Cheers,
Norm.

Re: Run a SuperBasic program from Assembler?
Unfortunately, Wolfgang's documentation describes the raw binary format expected by config. Tony's macros, however (which are a bit fragile and not absolutely obvious to use) are not described there. I seem to recall my original QPTR documentation had some description of the config macros, but more...

Re: Run a SuperBasic program from Assembler?
The official documentation for Config may also help. It's downloadable from Wolfgang's web site at https://www.wlenerz.com/qlstuff/Config.zip.

Re: Run a SuperBasic program from Assembler?
Hi T0nyt, you asked about using config as a QL best practice. You don't have to! My suggestion was simply a feeble attempt at humour. Sorry. However, as relates to your "menu" system, you will always be LRUNning the same S*BASIC program, so no need for a config block. However, if this was ...

Re: Run a SuperBasic program from Assembler?
And, for your next iteration, add a config block so that the command to be typed in is configurable without having to edit and reassemble the code! :D :D :D :D By the way, there was nothing wrong with your code, it worked. My comments were there to point you at "better" QDOS specific stuff...

Re: Run a SuperBasic program from Assembler?
If I may comment.... 1. In QDOS/SMSQ, strings are defined this way, with a leading word determining the length, followed by the characters of the string. runcmd dc.w cmdEND-runcmd-2 dc.b 'lrun win1_menu',$0A cmdEND equ * Doing it this way means never having to count characters when you change the st...
