BOS_to_BASM is a TA Script compiler. - To compile a .BOS file, drop it onto exe - All TA script syntax should be supported. - Any errors are printed just before the offending statement, and then again at the bottem of the .BASM file with a line number. Got to this line number to find the actual error. - Outputs the pre-processor output to a seperate file (It is exactly how the compiler sees it) (Extension .PREBASM) - Native ouput is a stack based asm, with the extension .BASM. If it has no errors it is sent to basm.exe to be compiled to a COB - Uses Mafia's BASM.exe to translate a .BASM file to a COB - basm.exe outputs errors to a fixed file. BOS_to_BASM will catch these are rename it with the format "_BASM_errors.txt". - All output is in the same directory as the .BOS file. - Allows the direct inlining of .BASM into .BOS files. The syntax is: "basm { ... }" - Named constant support! It is recommented that named constants are used instead of #define's Can be included in functions or not. The syntax: "const a = 1, b = a+<2>;" - Enhanced "EXPTYPE.H" & "SFXTYPE.H" which use named constants instead of #defines. (In the AlternativeIncludes sub-folder). To activate add ";AlternativeIncludes\" before "Includes\" in the include path in the ini file. - All settings are read out of an ini file. This Ini file must have the same name as the exe, but with a '.ini' extension.
