Subject: Help! I'm being invaded by assembler bugs !
I've been doing some assembly language programming on my Northstar
advantage, and the CP/M 2.0 assembler sometimes 'hangs' - No errors, etc.
I have to punch to reset switch.
I found that if I sprinkle NOP instructions throughout the source code
(and NO other changes), it finally assembles without errors after
several trial/error iterations. Does anyone know *what* causes
the assembler to hang, and how to *predictably* avoid the bug ?
Thanks.
