Some new historical details and parts rewritten to make it more readable.
DAMS is an assembler from Micro Application. It Developed by Pascal Séguy in a 48KB ZX Spectrum, it was later ported to the Amstrad CPC and released in 1985by [[Micro Application]]. It features a monitor, a Trace mode, a disassembler. The assembler is quite fast because In the text isn't stored as ASCII but tokenized (like the BASIC). This also allow detection of some errors as soon as the text is typed.This assembler is one of the favourites of the french CPC Scene, along with UK it was distributed by [[MaxamAudiogenic Software LTD]]. DAMS does not recognize undocumented opcodes.
It features an assembler, monitor, debugger, and disassembler. The assembler works with tokenized input, which makes it faster than other assemblers of the time, and allows for the early detection of syntactic errors in the source code. Like BASIC, DAMS stores the source code in tokenized form as well. DAMS does ''not'' recognize undocumented opcodes. Along with [[Maxam]], this was one of the most popular assemblers in the french CPC Scene. The code was open sourced in 2015 by Pascal Séguy. It is available under the terms of the GPL 3.0 License. == Links == * {{CPCPower|4248}}* [https://github.com/pseguy/dams Source code repository at Github] [[Category:Programming software]] [[Category:Assembler]] [[Category:Stub]]
