OBJECT FILE TO ASSEMBLY GENERATOR


OBJTOASM.EXE is a simple but useful utility that will
generate assembly language listings complete with symbols
from standard object files. The syntax is as follows:


OBJTOASM file.obj


The above syntax will direct output to the screen.
Perhaps a more useful listing will obtained by using the
MS-DOS redirection operator to redirect output to a file
which can be edited. In this case do like so:


OBJTOASM file.obj > file.asm


In this case a file is created which can be edited and
recompiled or printed. If you care to print the listing
directly, simply use the redirection operator like so:


OBJTOASM file.obj > PRN


Output will be directed to the printer immediately.

You will find OBJTOASM.EXE useful for generating assembly
language listings from object modules created by high level
languages such as BASIC or PASCAL. In this way the
assembly code can be studied with an eye toward
optimization.

The other included utility is PRINTSET.COM which will set
an EPSON compatible printer to print 100 lines per page in
order to save paper when listing the output from
OBJTOASM. To invoke PRINTSET.COM simply type its name at
the command line after you have verified that the printer
is on line.
