Re: Where are the NON extended asm docs?

Hey Andrew, thanks for the response.


I've been working on re-writing the docs for extended-asm.  However, as
bad as the extended-asm docs are, the NON extended asm docs (or would
that be "basic asm"?) appear to be completely missing.  Does anyone have
a link to the basic asm docs (even an old version)?
They're just passed through to the assembler AFAIK, so there's not much to
document.
Mostly that's true.

While I have some general questions I'm still working on, mostly what I seem to be finding is all the things that don't work or just aren't safe with basic asm, sometimes in non-obvious ways. Makes finding non-trivial samples a challenge. Worse, my docs for basic asm (almost) consist of "for safe and maintainable code, don't use basic, always use extended." Which says to me I simply haven't learned enough yet to write this topic.

I'm going to experiment and read a bit more, but unless inspiration strikes (or links and samples appear), I spose I'll just have to post my observations here and if they're wrong, people can shoot them down. I just hate getting shot down. But sometimes that's what you need to do to learn.
