just found this one again.
@AuroraMSX: No assembler fills that space. If you add two ORG statement and put some code behind it, it'll JUST assemble those, no filling. no nothing. really.
I use the ORG within one singel source file ALOT (for pointers to other modules etc).
Another question: Some like CROSS assembling. Okay, the ASSEMBLY part is quick (like tobi said: 250kb z80 code in less than a second is awesome). BUT, that's just assembling source. Next you need to run and test your program. Does this, in cross asm, mean heaving to load the whole program again? (in an emu) and test it?
I like having a environment, like wbass, yes, where I can asm just a portion of the program, run and test it at once. In the same environment I can use the command line to communicate with the program some what. A simple peek for example for testing purpose.
I know there's the debugging options in emu's, but you still 'ave to load the whole, new assemble, program in order to test it. This gets even worst while testing DOS programs. damn..
