When using call to #24 A-register should have SlotID of Slot we want to change (in this example first time SlotID of RAM and second time SlotID of BASIC) and HL register should point to any byte inside the area we want to change (In this case #4000-#7FFF)

ok,
but I didnt use this....
(I thought maybe you use this only in a dos-environment>???)

In a DOS environment, programs begin at #100 and the bios isn't directly accessible. Only through interslot calls.

only needed in BASIC norakomi. Dos has just DATA files (no header) which will be loaded at #100, like Latok said.
You CAN skip the header in Basic, but you'll 'ave to manually load the data yourself (no BLOAD function) with #open etc. hell of'a work. just stick with the "header" and you'll do fine.

You don't need it in WB-ASS2 norakomi. These people just aren't paying attention. (as usual ) Just use the BSAVE command in WB and you'll be fine. Like I said tho, make sure you specify the correct addresses.

Yes, I don't know about WBASS, but BSAVE does the 7 byte header for you.

so does WB-ASS2

Doesn't WB-ASS2 mean something like "Will Bite yer ASS , 2" ? I hate assemblers that add code and/or data where they shouldn't. It might be useful for starting programmers, but -- as we just witnessed -- will eventually confuse the crap out of them. And to me, WB-Ass seems top of the bill in this league...

Really, Norakomi, start thinking about using an other assembler...

Please

WB-ASS2 has both a BSAVE/BLOAD (7-byte header) and DSAVE/DLOAD (raw data).

I dont know if you will attend the Bussum fair saturday??? (will you???).
But, ok, we'll show our work there, and hopefully you'll see that with WBASS anything is possible !!!
It's like playing an old guitar (I'm a guitarist btw).
You get used to the sound and the wood, and the color and the scent,
and you learn to play it better and better every day !
After months of daily practice you start noticing that you can play miracles with this old dusty piece of wood.
Ehhm, stupid example....
anyway.
I agree, WBASS IS NOT A SUPERIDEAL assembler, but it's light has not stopped shining for me.
I'm discovering the ups and downs, the workarounds... and when I master it, OR really need another
assembler, Then I will switch.....

Really,
I love to work with the Bios,
and the only problem I have with WBASS is that its programs/files cannot exceed 4kb (which is really small).
But I just have a whole big bunch of small files....
(almost as if each routine has a different file haha)
Still there is always a good thing about small files.

Yeah, but I talked a lot about going to another assembler, (and to be honest, I hope that someone could assist me in person, (maybe at the bussum fair-> volunteers???) with a cross assembler.....
like, I'd like to sit behind a computer together with someone who is used to a cross assembler, and then this person can teach me how to do it.... because like said before, I tried a bit with other assemblers (also cross assemblers), but I just didnt succeed that well in handling it).

so, maybe after next saturday I can put my old guitar in the closet and grab a fresh one !!!

It doesn't add anything at all. It just has a BSAVE command, what's wrong with that?!?

I will, no worries

No prob. I'm no ML wizard, but I surely can help you set up sjasm or pasmo.
Time to put the Hohner aside and start playing the Ibanez

Indeed, BSAVE in WBASS2 is just as in BASIC. It will save a BINAIRY file (which MUST include that 7 byte header)
otherwise use de DSAVE (data save) which will do only that.. saving data.
Aurora, whaz yer prob? I can't even name one asm that will add xtra data @ files. name one pls or be silent for effah.
harf harf. no serious.

ps. WBmyASS = Willem Brendsen Assembler, just so u know. He was a good fellow, a nerd maybe, but a good nerd (atleast he made my live better by releasing that FAB asm/dis/mon/editor thingy! man!)

hahaha,
Hohner !!!!! hahahaha !!!

stupid asian guitars.. bleh.
long life gibson and ibanez indeed!
