You are a *dynamo*, Jeff!!! I can't come close to keeping up with you.

I did just d/l the latest asmtools, and started in the AsmLib_tutor
directory. Immediately had trouble. When I hit F3 to compile, I got
error messages from ld about "can't find _start". The resulting
executable gets "cannot execute binary file", or with F4 in asmide,
minibug returns immediately (silently). The problem seems to be that
Nasm is being asked to assemble the wrong file: "asmlib_display_demo1.3
[14" or so (this exists, but zero-length). I think the problem's in
the makefile(?). I'm seeing something like:

ext = 3�[14~

I'm not familiar with the syntax. Is that correct?

Assembling and linking "by hand" with the same command-lines works fine.
Having done so, and restarting asmide, F4 starts up minibug, but
stepping through it, the display is strange - seems like only the middle
few lines are scrolling(?). The instruction I'm about to step through
doesn't seem to be displaying(???).

Sorry to be always lodging complaints. Looking forward to getting into
more of your stuff. The CMOS stuff looks interesting - I didn't know we
could do that! And I never followed up on learning about signals... I
keep gettin' distracted! (Adult Attention Deficit Hypo-Activity Disorder...)

Best,
