Re: 86 Basic to ASM



No, that's not true.  For example, if you wanted to convert the ti-basic
"Disp "Hello"" into asm, you would do the following:

ld hl, &hello
call    D_ZT_STR
...
hello:  .db     "Hello"

And you can do the same for every instruction.  It wouldn't be feasable
because many of the higher level math instructions are too complicated,
however.

We all come into the world the same way - naked, screaming, covered in
blood.  But if you live your life right, that kind of thing doesn't have
to end there.
