PREFACE

The Commodore 64 MACRO ASSEMBLER DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM

software package allows you to program in the native 6500 series

Assembly language code, directly on the Commodore 6d computer.

It provides you with a very powerful macro Assembler, editor,

loaders and two machine language monitors along with other

support routines. These development tools operate like and provide

the same level of direct machine interface as the Assemblers on

much larger computers.

This package contains everything that you will need to create,

Assemble, load and execute 6500 series Assembly language code.

You will notice that like the software contained on this diskette, this

user's manual is directed towards the experienced computer user

that already has some familiarity with the 6500 series Assembly

language and the operations of the Commodore 64 computer.

This product is not intended to provide the knowledge of 'how to' in

assembly language, but provides the software tools for the

experienced assembly language programmer.

It is recommended that the user obtain one or more of the reference

manuals listed below for a more detailed description of 6502

assembly language and the Commodore 64. (The publisher is listed

in parentheses.)

• 6502 Assembly Language Subroutines, Leventhal and Saville

(Osborne/McGraw-Hill)

• 6502 Software Design, Scanlon (Howard W. Sams & Co.)

• 6502 Assembly Language Programming, Leventhal

(Osborne/McGraw-Hill)

• Commodore 64 Programmer's Reference Guide

(Commodore/Howard W. Sams & Co.)

• Programming in 6502, Rodnay Zaks (Sybex)

This manual has been divided into five parts for easier reference.

Part One, "Introduction" provides a brief description of how an

assembler works along with some basic terminology used

throughout this manual. It is recommended that the novice user

read this section first to obtain a feel for the level of knowledge

needed to program in assembly language and use this manual.

Part Two, "'64 Macro Assembler Capabilities and Conventions", is

composed of Section 1-4 and describes those capabilities and

conventions used by this assembler.

Part Three, "Creating and Editing Assembly Source Files", is

composed of Sections 5-6 and decribes how to create and edit an

assembly language source file. Section 5 contains the instructions

for loading a support program or wedge. This program gives the

user additional commands for maintaining the disk and loading and

running programs. Section 6 contains the operating instructions for

loading and running the Editor64 program. This program allows the

user to create and edit assembly source files.

Part Four of the manual, "Assembling and Testing a Program", is

composed of Sections 7-9 and contains information on the programs

that allow the user to assemble, test, and debug object programs.

Section 7 describes the operation of the assembler program;

Section 8 describes the programs that must be used to load an

object program into memory; Section 9 describes the program that

allows the user to monitor memory for debugging purposes.

Finally. Par! Five, "Appendices", includes those charts and tables

that can be used as a reference to other sections. It also provides a

quick reference to the commands available when running certain

programs.
