I don't know anything about Macs, but there's lots of errors in the source
code that will cause DASM to complain and fail to assemble.
For one thing, you've used TopLines 3 different times as a loop label.
Also, DASM is case-sensitive, you've used HSPFirstLoop and HSPFIrstloop to
mean the same label, but to DASM they're 2 different labels.
Also, you've got lines line `LDA foo, X'... the space before the X seems to be
confusing the assembler. Should read `LDA foo,X'.
I'm not sure if it's a typo or not, but there is no PF3 register (PF0, PF1,
PF2 are the 3 playfield regs)
Finally, you typed GameGameCalc where you probably meant just GameCalc.
I've added the error messages at the bottom of this message, it sounds like
your command line shell is dying on you before you get a chance to read them.
Hope this helps,
Brian
