ACKNOWLEDGMENT 


     Thanks  to  Uwe  Steller  for his contribution of the AS740
cross assembler.

     The  instruction  syntax  of  this cross assembler uses the
square brackets [] to denote addressing indirection.  

740 REGISTER SET 

The following is a list of the 740 registers used by AS740:  

        a       -       8-bit accumulator
        x,y     -       index registers


740 INSTRUCTION ADDRESSING MODES

The following list specifies the format for each
addressing mode supported by AS740:  

        #data           immediate data byte

        #data,*zp       immediate data to zero page

        a               accumulator addressing

        *zp             zero page addressing
                        (see .setdp directive)
                        0 <= dir <= 255 

        *zp,x           zero page x addressing
        *zp,y           zero page y addressing
                        address = (offset + (x or y))

        [*zp,x]         indirect x addressing
                        0 <= offset <= 255
                        address = 2 bytes at location
                            [(offset + (x or y)) mod 256]

        [*zp],y         indirect y addressing
                        address = 2 byte value at offset
                            plus the value of the y register

        abs             absolute addressing (2 byte)
        abs,x           absolute x addressing (2 byte + x)
        abs,y           absolute y addressing (2 byte + y)

        [abs]           indirect addressing (2 byte)

        label           branch label

        \special        low order byte of address 0xFFnn

        BIT#,*zp        bit set/clear zero page
        BIT#,A          bit set/clear accumulator

        BIT#,*zp,label  branch on bit set/clear in zero page
        BIT#,A,label    branch on bit set/clear in accumulator

The terms data, zp, abs, BIT , special, and label may all be ex-
pressions.  

     Note that not all addressing modes are valid with every in-
struction, refer to the 740 technical data for valid modes.  

740 INSTRUCTION SET

     The  following  tables list all 740 family mnemonics recog-
nized by the AS740 assembler.  The designation []  refers  to  a
required addressing mode argument.
