5.6.2 Projects
The emulator can only work from project files created within the emulator itself.
These files have the extension
.rpj , and are not compatible with the .rpj
files used in the old simulator. In other words, even to assemble a single as-
sembly program, the user has to create a project and insert the name of the
assembly file in the project.
To create a new project: Menu Project/New Project, then enter a project name
(Figure 5–14). To insert files in a project: Menu File/Insert (Figure 5–15), or
activate the project window by placing the mouse over it, and hit the INS key.
(Any window can be
activated by placing the mouse cursor over it). Assembly
files (extension .asm ), and C– – files (extension .cmm ) can be put in a project,
as well as object files created by the emulator (extension .obj ). In particular,
do not forget to include the cmm6xx.asm (or cmm6xx.obj , once it has been
assembled) file in any project containing C– – files.
Once all necessary files have been inserted in a project, it is a good idea to
save the project (Menu Project/Save). The user can then
build (from scratch)
or make (only files that have to be assembled/compiled/linked) the project. If
errors are detected, the emulator will automatically bring up an editor
