This is a rather slow compiler that turns Z80 (e.g. ret) into HEX (e.g. C9) that the calculator can understand. This compiler is written entirly in BASIC which 'just goes to show you what little languages can do'. Comes with a built in IDE (also entirly BASIC) that is not perfect, so DON'T bug me if the edit line function displays a few lines above (if it does type 2nd+RCL+Vars+7+1+Enter then put a colon then the code you want on the line.). Finally, this is a table driven assembler like TASM but the table is not complete. If you want to complete it and then re-release it go ahead, just say Table by You. I didn't make this as a functional program, but as a testament to the power of basic

Ok, I compiled it. Now what?

1. Create a new program
2. Edit it
3. Press 2nd+RCL(STO->)+Vars+7+5+Enter
4. Delete the quotes at the beginning and end of the program
5. Go to the very start of the program and press the right arrow once. Then press 2nd+Del+Enter
6. Exit to TI-OS
It is now a naitive hex source file. To run it:
1. Go to the catalog and select Asm(
2. Press Prgm and select the new program
3. Press Enter.
