Yes, you're right. It isn't the perfect solution for everything, but it could help many people by doing the boring stuff for them, and I think it'll make ASM more tangible for Basic programmers that are daring to take the leap into ASM.

I think that would be useful, yes

I somewhat intend to add GUI routines for making a default window with a default button et cetera, but I'm not sure if anyone would want to use it... If you want to make that (or if you have it lying around somewhere) please do
Anyway; I renamed a few macro's, improved some routines a bit (added text scrolling on newline in the graphscreen), added quite a few comments to my source, made a nice asmdoc file of it (see signature if you don't know what asmdoc is
), wrote a demo, and uploaded the whole bundle. Go download and tell me what you think
Asm API
