ALASM is a powerful assembler designed for programming on ZX Spectrum and compatible systems. Released in 1997, it offers extensive memory management capabilities, allowing users to work with multiple texts across different memory pages. This feature is particularly useful for large projects, as it maximizes the available memory on the user's computer. The assembler supports various hardware configurations, including TR-DOS, eLeMeNt ZX/MB, ATM, and others.
The software includes a comprehensive set of assembler commands accessible via a help menu. Users can perform tasks such as loading overlays, running programs, debugging, and managing files. The editor within ALASM provides functionalities like text insertion, line breaking, and pseudo-tabulation, enhancing the coding experience. It also supports extended keyboard inputs and displays cursor addresses, which is similar to line numbering.
Version 4.42 introduces several improvements over previous versions. These include the correct execution of nested macros, error counting during compilation, and expanded buffer accessibility. Additionally, new configuration options have been added, such as error positioning and text info display. These updates aim to enhance the usability and functionality of the assembler.
ALASM was developed by Alone Coder, Kva, Alem, Las, and Capry Stall, and published by Alem. It is a valuable tool for developers working with machine code and assembler on ZX Spectrum platforms, offering robust features and continuous updates to address user needs and system compatibility.
