Attached is a program I made to allow code written on the calc to also be converted to a z80 file and vice versa. This allows flexibility between the ease of programing on the computer and the portability of programming on the calculator.
Once again, please provide feedback and report if you find any bugs. |

| This is interesting, but I'm not sure I understand exactly what it does. Does it convert the assembler source to a basic program, so you can edit it on the calculator? |

uh... yes. If you create a basic program on the calculator for use as source for Phasm, you can use this program to convert it to a z80 file. It also goes the other way. It will convert z80 source to source on the calculator. |

| So what exactly is the advantage of converting a BASIC file to Z80? Does it speed up the program or decrease file size? |

No silly, this program disassembles asm programs so they can be edited and recompiled with his on-calc assembler Phasm  |

You are both wrong but Cryzbl is closer. This program only deals with assembly sources. It converts between the source for a computer assembler (like Tasm, Brass, Spacm) and my on-calc assembler, Phasm. |

Oh! So it's the exact opposite of the AsmComp( function!
@Flameviper: It's possible to create asm programs on the calculator by entering the hex using numbers and the letters A-F into a basic program with the first line being the AsmPrgm token. However, to run it it needs to converted into runable opcodes, as opposed to the ASCII values of the numbers/letters for the hex.
Example:
AsmPrgm
C9
Type this into your a new basic program. You wouldn't be able to run it as is, though because if you try instead of doing nothing, it could very well crash your calculator because although "C9" is the opcode for ret, that's not what your calculator is running. It's really running the opcodes 43 39, which I have absolutely no idea what it does. By using AsmComp(, it will make this change for you. What c_plus_plus did was provide the reverse, which TI left out.
Correct me if I'm wrong, c_plus_plus.

will do. Why is this so difficult to understand? Ill try to explain more clearly.
Say you type this code into your calculator for use with Phasm:
Code:
:.ORG 9D95H
:.DB 6DBBH
:LD HL, (MSG)
:BprgmCALL(450AH) E PUTS
:RET
:MSG:
:.DB "HELLO", 0
Now, you wanted to continue the project you started on the calculator on the computer, so you upload your file as Hello.8xp. now you run the computer program posted here called 8xp2z80.exe as follows:
Code:
8xp2z80.exe Hello.8xp Hello.z80
Now, if you were to open Hello.z80 on your computer it will appear as follows:
Code:
#include "phasm.inc"
.db 6dbbh
ld hl, (msg)
b_call(450ah); puts
ret
msg:
.db "hello", 0
Does this clear it up?
Edit: punctuation.

| so basically, you convert between the .z80/.asm file (which is nothing more than a .txt) and the basic program file format (no clue what extension that is) so you can transfer your PHASM source from your calc to your computer to be used w/ TASM/SPASM/BRASS? |

Yes!! Btw, the extension for the program file is *.8xp (thus the name of the converter program.) Also, you just brought up something interesting: should I also allow the *.asm extension? Currently this program forces you to use *.z80. |

Couldn't you just change the extension to *.asm? But then again, personally I am too lazy to do stuff such as changing the file extension anyways 
Just to clear things up: So your program is essentially a *.8xp to *.z80 converter, in which *.z80 can be viewed just like a *.txt file, so ultimately your program can open and edit normal *.8xp files. Or does your Phasm sources have to have a certain header to indicate it can be only opened by your program to be edited by your favorite editor? |

So... is that a yes?

The sources don't have special headers, but the source files won't run as Basic files, and Basic files won't turn out right when run through this program. |

| Just default to .z80, but follow the extension the user supplies if they supply one. |

This won't quite work. The way the program can tell if the user is converting from .8xp or from .z80 is exclusively with the extension. While I could add the .asm extension and treat it the same as a .z80 extension, I cannot "follow the extension the user supplies."
Edit: I appreciate the feedback (even though half of it is confusion about what this program does.) I would like to request that any Phasm users likewise provide feedback in the Phasm thread (link in signature.)

However, it is a faithful conversion of the original 8xp version. So in that regard it fulfills its purpose. |

The funny thing is sometime after typing this I made the same mistake in some code I actually wanted to assemble. Needless to say, the assembler gave an error. |
