Hi

I'm very busy so I'm just dropping by to tell this funny discovery.

I'm not sure if this is known yet, but at least in UN*X-like environments, you can make programs with fasm which assemble interactively. See this little example:

Code:

result= 0

virtual      at 0
  while result <> 'q'
    file       '/dev/stdin',1
    load    result byte     from %-1
  end while
  display    0xA,'you entered:',0xA
  repeat $
    load  part byte       from %-1
    display part
  end repeat
end virtual
display  0xA,'quitting interactive world!',0xA

This will display as assembler messages the text you enter.

Now, who builds the first text, hex, ram or disk editor with fasm? Wink

You can do this on Windows too replacing '/dev/stdin' with 'CON' if you use the console version of fasm.
