I agree with elfprince13!
get SPASM and then use
http://group.revsoft.org/app.inc
#include this and then use "defpage(0,"app_name_here") on the first page of the app, and then "defpage(#) for subsequent pages.
brass is "slow"? lol, when was the last time you had to *WAIT* for a Z80 ASM assembler to finish assembling a program for the calculator? I mean, seriously, the difference in speed between BRASS and SPASM is going to be so insanely small that unless you are batch-recompiling the entire ti-calc.org archives, you probably aren't going to notice
I think i am going to go with spasm just because i do not feel like waiting forever for the .net framework to download. Just one thing though, is anyone able to get the download link to work because i cant.

ZDS IDE 3.68 FTW!
0.05 secs to compile Starcalc and give a 32kb 8xk output file.
But the ide is completely crap.

my IDE of choice in Windows is Notepad++ also. Still haven't found anything in Linux I like as much though (kllrnohj, any suggestions?).
KDevelop is pretty sweet, but I often just use the default Gnome Text Pad which has syntax highlighting and such, but KDevelop adds a bunch such as the automatic setup of autoconf/automake for projects (so that your C/C++ projects can use the 'standard' ./configure && make && make install process), built in CVS/SVN support, other project/distribution schemes (such as a one-click building of a compressed archive w/ only the stuff in the distro list, so that all your 'testing' and other output files don't get added), word-autocomplete (helpful with long variable names and defines), auto-indenting, code folding, etc....
well i now get to use brass because i downloaded the .net framework at school and so now all i have to do is install it.
How do i use brass to assemble applications. i tried to use the ti application tutorial on their page and every time i try to compile i get over 1500 errors.

There's a full manual here:
http://benryves.com/bin/brass/
just use latenite - the projects sets up everything you need for brass and creates all the batch scripts necessary to compile for nostub, ION, MOS, etc...

Yeah, but he's creating an *app*, not a program, and LateNite provides no templates whatsoever for app creation.
I did read the manual but every time i try to compile this:
Code:
.binarymode ti8xapp
.inclabels "ti83plus.inc"
.deflong bjump(label)
call BRT_JUMP0
.dw label
.enddeflong
.deflong bcall(label)
rst rBR_CALL
.dw label
.enddeflong
.defpage 0,16*1024, $4000
.page 0
.block 128
bjump(_JForceCmdNoChar)
i get over 1500 errors. To compile it i type in brass test.z80
That's because you've changed the code from what it says in the manual:
Code:
.binarymode ti8xapp ; TI-83+ Application
.inclabels "ti8x.lbl" ; Label file containing equates
.deflong bjump(label) ; Jump macro
call BRT_JUMP0
.dw label
.enddeflong
.deflong bcall(label) ; Call macro
rst rBR_CALL
.dw label
.enddeflong
.defpage 0, 16*1024, $4000 ; Page 0 definition
.page 0 ; Start page 0
; ← header is added in here for us
.block 128 ; Advance 128 bytes for header
bjump(_JForceCmdNoChar) ; Exit
Notice the ".inclabels "ti8x.lbl" "
I changed it though because i do not have an include file called ti8x.lbl

Then it would probably be wise to try to search for and find such a file, would it not? 
I searched and could not find. The only thing i found was on maxcoderz and the problem was caused because king harold was using latenite. So does anyone know where i can find it.
So does anyone know where I can find that file because i still don't see it?
I still recommend using SPASM and app.inc
@kllrnohj: with Brass its a 2 second pause or say no matter what gets compiled-hello world or DCS.
and with SPASM you can now have page-aware labels :p
