@Cruzer

It was merely a proof of concept. But yes, it will break easily. AND:ing 'val' with $3F keeps you in range I suppose =)

TWW: Im working on a new setup for the manual. Clickable table of contents and clickable list of directives are part of it.

Overkill?, Perhaps so. But Word have been bugging me for some time now, and integrating pdf+html generation in the builder will make new releases easier in the long run.

@ Ruk: Thanx for pointing me in the right direction. I can do hi and lobytes from $00 to $40 8-D.

I'm not sure how I would succeed with and'ing to rid the two MSBs though. Is there a way to build the complete tabel somehow instead of manually typing it?

@ Cruiser: Yeah, and how to fricking fill in the rest of the "special and inverted characters".

@ Slammer: Nice! Looking forward to it. It's a good manual.


So I then have a refined question;

Is there a way to go from a byte (00-ff) to the corresponding petscii character without using a lookup table within the script language (probably not but can't hurt to ask)?

ex:
.print char(0) = "@"
.print char(3) = "C"

etc.

@TWW: Yeah, that's what I was thinking from the start. :)
@Slammer: KickAss IS overkill, that's what makes it awesome :)

Found another possible bug(?)...

I'm using KickAss (version V3.25) on a linux system (SlackoPuppy)... via the commandline:
"java -jar /mnt/sda3/CBM/TOOLS/KickAssembler/KickAss.jar -maxaddr -1 -aom -binfile -o /mnt/sda3/OC_SERVER/CBM/test.crt %f"
("OC_SERVER" is a mounted directory to a shared network drive of my Windwos PC, where WinVice is installed.)

The source I compile should output a large crt (EasyFlash format) which is roughly 129K... but when compiling the output binary through this shared network drive, it outputs around 69K (i.e. loss of file data).

Compiling the binary locally and then copying that file across to the network drive works fine.

I don't know if this is a Linux-Windows issue or not. When mounting the network drive, I use "nounix" and "noserverino" as parameters.

I assume you get no error messages. Since it outputs 69k it seams like you have set the maxAddr correctly.

1. Is the output cut when you compile it normally (no network drive, no binary)?
2. Is the output cut when you compile it as a binary?
3. Is the output cut when you compile it as a binary on the networkdrive?
(Also check if the code reallly should be 69k)

If 1 or 2 fails, i'll need some failing code to see whats wrong.

Network paths can operate slightly differently to local devices.
This problem can be caused by an unflushed fseek.
Before each fseek do a fflush. A flush before a fclose can also help.

No, in both of these cases it outputs the full size fine. No errors etc.

Yes, I'm executing KickAss from my laptop (linux OS), but the output path is via a network, where this problem occurs. The source code can be stored on either the network side or local side, but there is no difference. There's nothing wrong with my source code on its own.


@Martin: Yes I agree. I remember having this problem with network drives at where I work... having to using some flushing C functions as you mentioned. Maybe the java functions have the same issue? The JRE libraries on Linux might have issues too, but I don't know.
