loading file into memory
Hypocritic
Does anyone know how to load the straight contents of a file straight into a
memory position, starting at an arbitrary address. Looking for a
macro/app/anything .. cheers.
I want to load a program i assembled elsewhere and test it.
cheers,
gerard

However, loading a file is not the same as loading a program. There are
many other things involved in loading a program. Probably the simplest
thing to do is to load the file into an existing program and then run it
from inside the other program. All you have to do is write a simple
program to load your file and run it, and you solved the problem of all
the complicated stuff that running a program involves.

assembler. Actually i'd rather bypass the OS completely and start in the
debugger. I am not particularly used to native os calls (i am guess that's
what FSRead is), but am interested in this inlining code into existing
programs. How exactly do you do that?
I do have access to ResEdit, would it involve adding another CODE resource?

Get a compiler and learn how to create simple applications. Then
understand how they work and how they are loaded. Then try to do
something different.
It is not just a matter of adding a CODE resource. I am guessing that
you are not familiar with the way that code resources and applications
work on Mac OS, therefore I think you should familiarize with that
before you try to change it.
You are also not telling us exactly what you are doing. The solution
depends on the problem, and you are not giving us the problem, you are
giving us a solution and asking how to implement it. There are probably
half a dozen ways to do what you ask, and the most appropriate one
depends on what you are really trying to do.

CALL -151 gets you into the Monitor; on the IIGS/IIc/IIc+/enhanced IIe, IIRC
"!" gets you into the mini-assembler.

ResEdit? That's a Mac thing, not an Apple II thing. Time to trim your
newsgroup list so that comp.sys.apple2.programmer isn't included.
