Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Format: [Name] [Operation] [Operands] [;Comment]
 
     Each line of source code consists of a single statement, of up to
     512 characters. Statements can be entered in either uppercase or
     lowercase letters. Each field (except the comment field) must be
     separated from other fields by a space or tab character.

     Field        Purpose
 
     Name          Defines a label that can be accessed from elsewhere
                   in the program. If the statement is a data
                   directive, this field is a variable name. If the
                   statement is an instruction, this field is a code
                   label.
 
     Operation     States the action of the statement. This field
                   contains either an instruction or a directive.
 
     Operands      Lists the item(s) to be operated on.
 
     Comment       Provides a comment for the user. This field is for
                   documentation purposes only and is ignored by the
                   assembler.
