Assembling a Program

1)  Save your assembly code in a file called "filename.asm".  Do not forget to include the ".asm" extension.

2)  Make sure your assembly file ("filename.asm") is in the same folder as the assembler ("asm.bat", "as11.exe").

3)  Create a DOS prompt in the folder that contains the assembler and source code.  If you are using Programmer's File Editor, you can do this clicking on Execute -> DOS Prompt.  If you are using Windows 95/98/ME, you can do this by clicking on Start -> Run, entering "command", and changing the path to the working folder by entering "cd \path\to\your\folder\".  If you are using Windows 2000/XP, you can do this by clicking on Start -> Run, entering "cmd", and changing the path to the working folder by entering "cd \path\to\your\folder\".

4)  Assemble the file by entering "asm filename".  Note that you do not include the .ASM extension.

5)  Examine the outputted text for any errors and act accordingly.  You may need to correct bugs in your assembly source code, or you may find that there are 0 errors.

6)  After you have assembled your code with 0 errors, verify that "filename.lst" and "filename.s19" were created in the working folder.
