Recently, I accidentially typed into a the command prompt (a bash shell with completion enabled):

Code:

fasm test.asm test.asm

and made fasm overwrite the source file. Hopefully I had a backup.

Seriously, I would like to change the behaviour of fasm and make it not overwrite files that are also specifed as source files. Or should I just be more careful when typing?

This would probably be a better option:

Code:

fasm test.asm

Yeah, there should warnings on guns saying "Do not point at your own head and pull the trigger".

I started using version control just to make my environment easier. If you use it and you delete something or mess something up you can get your previous saved version back.

I've come to like tracability, so I'll probably begin to use:

Code:

format binary as 'asm.exe'
