AsmBf (Assembler Source Beautifier)

AsmBf will convert an assembler source text into any format the user specifies. The user can set the starting column for the opcode-, operand- and comment-filed, insert or remove TABs, etc..

The following, rather ugly source text...

 move.l DOSBase(a4),d0
 beq 1$
 move.l d0,a1
 jsr CloseLibrary(a6) ;close dos.library
1$:
 moveq #0,d0
 rts

will look like this, after a conversion with AsmBf:

        move.l  DOSBase(a4),d0
        beq     1$
        move.l  d0,a1
        jsr     CloseLibrary(a6)        ;close dos.library
1$:     moveq   #0,d0
        rts

AsmBf runs from your shell and accepts the following arguments:

FILE/A Name of the source text to be converted. The old file will be overwritten, so you might want to make a backup first.
P=POS/K Sets the starting column for the directive-, operand- and comment-field (first column =0). Default is "POS=8,16,40".
T=TAB/K/N Tabulator size. A zero will forbid the usage of tabs and has the effect of removing all tab codes from a source. The tabulator size defaults to 8.
G=GLOBAL/S Always start a new line after global labels.
L=LOCAL/S Always start a new line after local labels.

AsmBf is Public Domain. The included C source text was compiled with Volker Barthelmann's VBCC (see aminet/dev/c), but any other compiler should work as well.
