It ain't gonna happen. I completely agree here. And macros are much more flexible, with hardwiring every used minor change or feature requires distributing the whole assembler! I have programmed a bit with "CISC languages" that where not extensible, and I *really* hated that. I like to be able to write my own extensions or modify existing ones when I need them, and a more powerful macro language in DASM would help there a lot. > There's no reason, though, why we can't have a "DASM Atari 2600 macro > package.h" include file, which is maintained as a sub-part of the DASM > release. And even an official "DASM VCS.h" file, too. Companion files, not > hardwired. Yup, and maybe we finally can manage to create a standard TIA constants file as well then. Have?fun!
