HOW TO BUILD THE COMMODORE AMIGA ZIP/EZIP (USING BATCH FILES) -------------------------------------------------------------- The Amiga development tools currently run on the micro group's Compaq. [] Enter the /EDIT directory [] BZA (assemble 68K source) (make sure flag in source is set for ZIP or EZIP) [] BZCNOS (compile C source, two phases) (make sure flag in batch file is set for ZIP or EZIP) [] BZLNOS (link, "No Symbols" -- no debugging info) [] BZHEX (hexify the .LD file) [] run "READ zipXX serial" on the Amiga [] run XTALK on the PC: sp 9600 go local send ZIP.HEX Possible alternate to last three steps -- [dbb 9/26/86] (On Amiga) READ ram:file serial (On PC) CONVERT < file.ld > AUX (hexify, output directly to port) (On Amiga) LIST ram:file (On PC) DIR file.ld (compare lengths) HOW TO CREATE LIST FILES ------------------------ [] BZALST (for 68K, creates ZIP.LIS) [] BZC BZOMD AMIGAZIP (for C, creates AMIGAZIP.LIS) A problem with BZC is it causes a subsequent link attempt to fail (error 21, whatever that means).
