I'm trying to build a .asm, but the document I started with was a .txt. Is there anyway to make sure there's no MS nonsense in it?. I used hex workshop, to look at it, and it *seems* to be right. But, is there a way to make sure before going any further?

 

As long as you didn't use any sort of word processor on that txt file, you should be fine. I typically use Notepad.

If you open it up in notepad and don't see any strange stuff floating around, you should be fine.

 

Exactly, use notepad for everything and you'll have nothing to worry about...

 

Forget notepad. Go Ultraedit, baby. It is now my standard hex and plain text editor.

Can't go wrong.

 

Forget ultraedit, I use Emacs, pico, or Vi.

There's a good editir that comes with the simulator THRSim11.
You can find it easy on the net.
It formats in several different formats so you can see errors pretty easy.
The simulator is a demo, but the editor is full version.
I don't know if the editor expires when the demo is done.
It's good for 15 days anyway.

The editor does stay active although the simulator shuts down.
It has a "view" feature to see whitespace and CR/LF also.
Set it for assembly language and it uses color to show different program code and comment items.
