turbo assembler sourcecode fileformat details
so, i eventually tried to convert a bunch of sources using tmpview, and found out it is buggy and doesnt work properly ... and since the source seems to be unavailable i might end up writing a similar tool :) so the question is, is there any documentation on the fileformat around? |

Both packages include a sample source file for conversion that converts just fine.

there is no need for such tool.
just open the source in Turbo Assembler on c64/emu and save it again to a SEQ file with the <- w command.
The file can be opened on PC without the need of any petscii > ascii convertion (unless you use upper case chars in a .text "" statement).
Edit: sorry, just noticed TMP that's Turbo Macro Pro ? Don't know if that one has the write feature. |

TMP does have the write/enter features. In fact, I always save as SEQ after some issues years ago with corrupted labels table in PRG source files.
... and yes, any uppercase in the source files is fucked if loaded in a PC text editor.

if you want to convert a single file, then yes, maybe. ofcourse i know how to do that and it works just fine.
but if you were, for example, trying to convert the ~200 sourcefiles of the lorenz testsuite, then <-L/<-W becomes boring very quickly =P |

Back when Turrican 3 sources were released, I did a tasm converter that uses 3 different original Turbo Assembler versions and VICE, and automates the process of converting the tasm sources from prg (you have to extract them from d64 before) to pc ASCII.
iancoog.altervista.org/C/tasmconv_14.rar
The original packed source is loaded into tass (modified to load and save automatically), saved as seq, extracted from d64 and converted from petscii to ascii. You only have to quit vice manually, can't be done in software =)
See if it suits your needs. |
