I can't find spasm on Parallax's web site, but I can email a copy if you like. Don's converted code was done with an early version of Parapic. The new one is better, but I don't guarantee 100% success. Some Parallax stuff confuses Parapic because it is the same as some microchip mnemonic code and therefore ignores the code line. -- Best regards Tony http://www.picnpoke.com spam_OUTsalesTakeThisOuTpicnpoke.com

The Parallax programmer and tools/software were sold to Tech Tools about a year and a half ago. The new version of spasm, called cvasm16, is available from their website. http://www.tech-tools.com I believe.

PIC Software and Documentation including Simulator, Assembler, and Editor originally produced for use with their Programmer which was sold to Tech-Tools ftp://ftp.tech-tools.com/cvasm16.zip and no further development is expected by Parallax on this line but they are still available at no cost.

Geoff, first forget about SPASM v4.7 and get CVASM v5.8 which is fully backward compatible with SPASM. It includes several new features and supports more devices. Tech Tools now own the former SPASM and Parallax Programmer. They have done much to improve both and are continuing development. To get CVASM, go to: http://www.tech-tools.com/ Once you get to the site, select "Support". From there select and download the following: Support Category: Product - CVASM16 Item: PIC software - CVASM16 V.5.8 Item: PIC Documents - CVASM16 Instruction Set Item: PIC Documents - CVASM16 Details Item: PIC Manuals - PIC Tools Manual V.8.0 - Tom At 11:12 PM 2/23/00 -0600, Geoff Child wrote: >Does anyone know a spot to downloaded Spasm.

Hi, I agree, but there is ONE point to be taken into account: the list file generated by CVASM won't be recognized by PSIM, the simulator of Parallax. I guess there is only the heading to be changed, but I have no solution yet at the moment.

Imre, True. Parallax quit supporting it long before Tech Tools bought the assembler. CVASM's object code is intended to work with their development tools. - Tom At 08:00 AM 2/25/00 +0100, Dr. Imre Bartfai wrote: {Quote hidden}>Hi, > >I agree, but there is ONE point to be taken into account: the list file >generated by CVASM won't be recognized by PSIM, the simulator of Parallax. >I guess there is only the heading to be changed, but I have no solution >yet at the moment. > >Regards, >Imre > > >On Thu, 24 Feb 2000, Tom Handley wrote: > >> Geoff, first forget about SPASM v4.7 and get CVASM v5.8 which is fully >> backward compatible with SPASM.
