| I have been trying to learn asm for a long time, but a problem always seems to come up. Whenever I compile a program with TASM, it stores a bin file. However, when I try to convert the bin file with DevPac8x, it says "file not found." Is there some obscure place where I should put the bin file, or should I just find different software? |

| Personally I would try other software but that's just me there are many Tasm compatible assemblers and IDE's that would make life easier for you. |

| Are you using a batch file, like what comes with Ion, with DevPac8x? It'll have an example of how to use it properly. |

Yes, if you're using a batch file, please show us the code. If not, show us the command you're using. Make sure paths and file extensions are handled correctly.
Also, I remember some error owuld occur if the filename (before the extension) was more than 8 characters long. |

try wabbitspasm you don't need devpac8x for it
just do:
Code:
spasm <.z80 or .asm file name> <calculator file name w/ .8xp or .8xk extension>

I downloaded wabbitspasm and did
wabbitspasm c:\asm\source\%1.z80 c:\asm\exec%1.8xp
and I get "failed to open output file "BCALL *_______EF 3 NOP 1""
Why is it opening the output file? |

| There's no reason why TASM shouldn't work just fine. Could you please tell us the exact commands you're using to assemble and pack? |

| I meant the commands for TASM that were giving you problems. I don't use spasm, so I can't help you with that, sorry. |

| TASM works just fine, creating a bin file. I just can't find software that converts a bin file to .8xp |

| So what commands were you using with devpak8x that didn't work? |

| It turns out that the commands were fine. The problem was that my filenames were more than 8 characters long, so it probably couldn't create the Ti-Connect program. |
