Hi,
You would be better using: - Q-Mac Macro Assembler, Quanta version, which is available on Dilwyn Jones's Web Site.
Also why not use QPC2 or SMSQEmulator both are free and SMSQEmulator is still in devlopment.

Same error message with Q-Mac if i choose ZIP file in Qemulator.
SMSQEmulator
QPC2? no, thanks

The adder assembler only runs on 128Kb QLs. If you run it under Qemulator with more than that, it won't make it through its start-up screen (I just double-checked). I'm not seeing the 'bad or changed medium' error though. Perhaps your copy of asm is corrupt?

seems byte 6-9 is file length. for amiga_exe(35 520 bytes) value doesn't related to $11, $70.

Okay, I just download that version too. It's a zip file, so download as is, and put it somewhere. Under QEmulator, attach the zip file to slot 1 (as ZIP/QLPAK). If you do dir flp1_ (or win1_) you should see asm, asmhelp, asmtext, and boot. Just type exec_w flp1_asm and it should run, provided you only have 128 Kb on your emulator.

Ah, I just realize that the zip file on Dylwin's site is actually from me. That boot file looked awfully familiar. Anyway, it appears I'm about the only one who uses the Adder assembler. If it's not working for you, or you'd like a more modern implementation, there's plenty of other options (also at Dylwin's site). The GST macro assembler comes to mind.

No, same error:( masybe reason in .ZIP with metadata?
Qemulator runs with 128K.

Adder not works on QLAY2, configuration is 128K.
it runs after 'ew win1_asm' folder WIN1 has asmhelp and asmtext too. There are logo and no responce(

Hi,
I have just had a quick look at the the ADDR assembler in a disassembler, looks a really badly written piece of software. QMAC is far better and has macro facilities.
I am not sure why you need to SEXEC the ASM assmbler file, if you unzip the file in a QL environment, the executable header will be intact.
