Saving Source with Apple's Mini-Assembler.........Jim Church
                                                Trumbull, CT

I have discovered a way to store source code, complete with comments, on disk files for the Apple mini-assembler (at $F666 in the Integer BASIC ROM or Language Card load).  I use what I call "the world's best word processor", the one you get from S-C Software for $50.  I create a text file that looks like this:

!lm+5
FP
CALL-151
C080
F666G
300:LDX #C0 ;START WITH "A"-1
 INX        ;LOOP COMES HERE
 TXA        ;CHAR TO PRINT
 JSR FDED   ;PRINT IT
 CPX #DA    ;STOP AFTER "Z"
 BCC 302    ;NOT THERE YET
 RTS        ;FINISHED!
FP
CALL768

!lm-5

Assuming I have Integer BASIC in my RAM card, EXECing the above text file assembles the code very nicely and even runs the program once!  Note that the Mini-Assembler does allow comments following a ";".
