At least you have the theoretical right, I was denied flat out last time I tried it ;) Sounds like I haven‘t missed much

Hi Ralf,

I've had a look at all my fonts, "Syntax" is not one of them.

Cheers,
Norm.

Here's a page on my little website with the McGraw Hill Assembler photos and a scanned PDF version of the manual. Anyone that is brave enough to put those pics on the wiki is welcome to try it.

Ah, I also have this. The included SuperBASIC forms the first version of S_Edit ;) and was copied in much places from TT's sedit.

Have you tried the editor? "cursor_code" are CURSEN and CURDIS (as far as I remember), but there is a missing file ROOM_BIN. The editor holds the text in an array and the two keywords MAKE_ROOM and TAKE_ROOM are used to add or delete an entry in the text array.

I have downloaded the Assmbler Manual and corrected the double page scannning, so that there is one page per page. l have cleaned up any black marks.

Just got to OCR it eith Tesseract and edit the text file into a pdf file. Only 40 pages.

I upload the finished manual here.


Regards,

Derek

I haven't even tried it! Perhaps the ROOM_BIN file gets generated somehow. Write protect tab is missing and all appears to be original.

Double page scanning is so much quicker to undertake Derek, but I will of course replace it with your version when done.

Hmm, not as far as I know. Perhaps you can upload the editor here?

Here it is (zipped in windows, as it's just a text file). Different version perhaps.

Thank you! Yes, this seems to be an earlier version than mine.

Had a little play, seems quite nice.

To get it to run in SBASIC, I had to change the IF....: END Define lines to IF... : RETurn as SBASIC doesn't seem to like then conditional END DEFines, other than that, it seems to work quite well.
