I can't run an assembler program

Post by Jim Kovic »

I'm using textpad to program assembler code. I suppose that its much like setting up tp for most any other language compiler. However, when I set it up the way that the Assembly language for intel-based computers site told me (http://www.nuvisionmiami.com/books/asm/ ... xtpad4.htm), I went to compile the code and then when I ran the code up popped a dos screen where I expected the simple "hello world" output. However, it only read "Press any key to continue".

This is the way my configurations are:
My dos command is $BaseName and I unchecked "capture output" and in the initial folder textbox in preferences I have $FileDir. I'm able to compile the program but its just that I get no output but "press any key to continue".

If you have any suggestions could you email me rather than only posting the help on the site?

Thanks

Yeah I'm having the same problem too. I can build the program following the examples from the books website, but debug and run are toast. I kind of came up with a solution for run. The command is still a dos command, or cmd.exe depending on which Windows you're running. I changed the parameter to C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe - I know that isn't correct, but at least you can get the command prompt up and type the name of your program - hello.exe for example. It's not perfect and I would also like it to work like java does too.
