Using the Macro Assembler

You use the Macro Assembler to translate Z8 Encore! assembly language files with the

.asm

extension into relocatable object modules with the

.obj

extension. After your relo-

catable object modules are complete, you convert them into an executable program using
the linker/locator. The Macro Assembler can be configured using the

Assembler

page of

the

Project Settings

dialog box (see the

Assembler Page

section on page 71).

The Command Processor allows you to use commands or script files to automate the exe-
cution of a significant portion of the IDE’s functionality. For more information about the
Command Processor, see

Appendix D. Using the Command Processor

on page 489.
