Though the readme files are quite the same in both packages, there are differencies
Version bought by Seb:
- asm.ttp (144661 bytes)
- asm020.ttp (144511 bytes)
- edit.prg (163277 bytes)
- adebug.prg (136582 bytes)
Other version that seems newer:
- asm.ttp (144730 bytes: +69 bytes)
- asm020.ttp (144580 bytes: +69 bytes)
- assemble.prg (163302 bytes: +25 bytes)
- adebug (136616 bytes: +34 bytes)
Adebug differencies:
(offset are given for both versions this way:
old-
new -->
old)
offset 258-258 --> 266, 8 bytes less in "old"
offset 14278-14286 --> 14291, 12 bytes less in "new"
offset 14834-14830 --> 14849, 14 bytes less in "new"
offset 14894-14876 --> 14901, 6 bytes less in "new"
offset 14956-14932 --> 14963, 6 bytes less in "new"
offset 26288-26258 --> too many differencies, can't manage to find whet is added by who, aborting the search...
all RO files have same sizes
all ROSRC files have same size
the "new" package contains a help directory
the "new" package contains
adebug_b.prg (94210 bytes) and
rdebug_b.prg (94204 bytes). They are much smaller than normal version but I don't know yet what these version aim at.
Readme file for adebug:
- is dated 25-jul-1994 in "new", and 20-aug-1994 in "old"
- lists revisions until 25-jul-1994 in "new" and until 14-dec-1994 in "old"
- fixes one typo in "old"
- adds a precision (adebug RSC icon by Manu) in "old"
- adds changes in jully in "new", changes that are listed in a different manner in "old" as beeing made in june.
Readme file for edit and assemble:
- lists changes until 7-nov-1995 in "new", and 16-dec-1994 in "old" (these consist in floating point instructions fixes and madmac compatibility)
- "new" adds precision (BSD objects are linkable with GNU C)
- "new" fixes typo
- "new" adds new errata (7-nov-1995) to assemble manual
- "new" fixes typos in erratas
- "new" is dated 7-nov-1995, and "old" 10-may-1994.
So, if the new package is really a later build, the readme file for
adebug is older in "new" package and the readme file for assemble is newer in "new" package
Testing the madmac compatibility feature introduced as of 7-nov-1995, the
assemble version of "new" package is
indeed newer.
Todo:
My assemble help (*.hlp) files have many additions.
The ones regarding Videl should be reported into an article about Zerkman's studies results
- asmdta.hlp: I added some partial support for disabled underlining in condition codes, and I added the French "Mémo Assembleur" file
- asmdta.hlp: newer version fixes some typos (lines 1278 and 1338)
- asmndx.hlp: I added the Mémo Assembleur contents
- edtdta.hlp are the same
- edtndx.hlp: tabs have been removed
- genndx.hlp: help on debugger was added (strange!)
- mchdta.hlp: I added information about Videl, based on Zerkman's STmag article, I also mis-transformed $ffxxxx addresses into $ffffxxxx.
- mchndx.hlp: minor changes bring support for disabled underlining
- regdta.hlp: I fixed 2 typos
- regndx.hlp, usrdta.hlp ans usrndx.hlp: are unchanged
