This brings up a probably more-pedantic-than-interesting item... how much does a
code-porter alter... DASM betrays its amiga heritage with its nasty options
handling... I did not rewrite [it's my intent to tread very lightly with
porting code of any kinds]. I have CVS access to DASM, and this is one thing I
want to fix once and for all, and "bring an end" to DASM revisions.
But the syntax for using dasm is strict, Ruffination Man....
dasm sourcefile options
So you *MUST* enter the command like this:
dasm source.asm -f 3 (or -f3) -o output.bin -s output.sym -l listing.lst [opts]
^^^^^^^^^^ *MUST* be first. [remember when I had to modify the commando
resource to fix where the -f option was placed?]
Note: the help says this much, but you probably not-that-unreasonably assumed
you could juggle options and source filenames around. This will be fixed for
all DASMs [I'll check-in the code to Matt's CVS tree, and then send the "final"
source distro around so the various platforms can have it [I have a very well
functioning Amiga emulator, but no Amiga compilers].
BTW, -p isn't a valid option.

Javascript, geez... It sounds like the Ruffinator could use a little Arnie
Rotary Cannon action for his boss.
