Add support for 6800 compatibility instructions.
The occasional program uses the 6800 compatibility instructions since they
are actually specified by Motorola in at least some documentation. They
advertised the 6809 as source compatible with the 6800.
This mode is not enabled by default, however. It is my belief that receiving
an error when using a non-6809 instruction is more useful since it is
unlikely that much 6800 source code is being assembled for the 6809 these
days. Nevertheless, the --6809compat option is present for just those
purposes so one does not have to resort to using macros (which would work
equally well in most cases).

As of LWASM 4.11, those compatibility instructions can be enabled using the <CODE CLASS="PARAMETER" >--6800compat</CODE > option or the <CODE CLASS="PARAMETER" >6800compat</CODE > pragma. It also supports all known HD6309 instructions. While there is general agreement on the pneumonics for most of the 6309 instructions, there is some variance with the block transfer instructions. TFM for all four variations seems to have gained the most traction and, thus, this is the form that is recommended for LWASM. However, it also supports COPY, COPY-, IMP, EXP, TFRP, TFRM, TFRS, and TFRR. It further adds COPY+ as a synomym for COPY, IMPLODE for IMP, and EXPAND for EXP. </P ><P >By default, LWASM accepts 6309 instructions. However, using the <CODE CLASS="PARAMETER" >--6809</CODE > parameter, you can cause it to throw errors on 6309 instructions instead.</P ><P >The standard addressing mode specifiers are supported. These are the hash sign ("#") for immediate mode, the less than sign ("<") for forced eight bit modes, and the greater than sign (">") for forced sixteen bit modes.</P ><P >Additionally, LWASM supports using the asterisk ("*") to indicate base page addressing. This should not be used in hand-written source code, however, because it is non-standard and may or may not be present in future versions of LWASM.</P ></DIV ><DIV CLASS="NAVFOOTER" ><HR ALIGN="LEFT" WIDTH="100%"><TABLE SUMMARY="Footer navigation table" WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="c62.html" ACCESSKEY="P" >Prev</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="index.html" ACCESSKEY="H" >Home</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="x206.html" ACCESSKEY="N" >Next</A ></TD ></TR ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" >LWASM</TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="c62.html" ACCESSKEY="U" >Up</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" >Source Format</TD ></TR ></TABLE ></DIV ></BODY ></HTML >
