RE: A86: Assembly Studio 8x released
You could do that, although it would be simpler to just make an exe that
sends WM_DROPFILE messages to the VTI window to simulate dropping the files
on it, and let VTI handle the linking. For that matter, couldn't you just
execute VTI with a filename as a command line argument, and have that as an
external tool build step?

It's a nice idea, but I think a better method would be to use the Virtual
Link and actually send the files to VTI. That way, you could send programs,
strings, etc., and not erase everything that is on the emulated calc. It
wouldn't have to be a plugin, in fact, it might be more useful if it were a
regular program, that way you could add it as an external tool under
Assembly Studio's build menu steps.
