ATK v2.3 uploaded (under Utilities)
Posted: Mon Oct 04, 2004 11:31 am
I thought a few (any?) people would be interested in the ATK the Assembler ToolKit. Contains tutorials by myself and others, generally directed towards people wanting to learn assembler.
More interestingly, it contains an implementation of an inline assembler. This initially was a quick 5 hour job when I was bored in a holiday overseas back in 1999. I found an old dodgy computer in Syria and coded up an inline assembler for QB. (it's amazing what you can achieve when you are almost bored to death). Also contained various utilities ranging from a make utility for QLBs with an example (highly commented) mouse library, to a COM to BAS converter. Don't ask about the last one, just ... don't ... ask. =)
I'm thinking that the original archive for this was lost (a certian individual might have a copy), this thing got pulled together from various backups. So it could be a bit dodgy... e.g. a few half written tutorials. Doesn't excuse the bud spilling, nor grammar the. But in retrospect, they haven't improved that much!
I hope it's a useful addition to your download page, Pete.
Great work on that btw! You are breathing fresh life into the dormant (but not dead, no, never dead) QB world. I've been away for quite a while persuing my university degree. (too long a story) I was actually reminded of QB by flicking through the Agilent/HP 34970A user manual, where I hit upon some examples of controlling modern scientific GPIB equipment in QuickBASIC!! Maybe I'll OCR scan those, since these manuals are probably hard to come. The unit itself can't be more than 3-4 years old, so that alone should indicate that QB is far from dead.
