[Coco] ASM

[Dave Philipsen]

In the source code file there are certain directives that cause the output file to be specifically for OS9. If you are not familiar with them then you'll need to read the manual.  I don't have a link handy right now but I'm sure it's archived somewhere.  Maybe someone else can get to it more quickly than I.

Also, as Curtis alluded to, there are directives that allow you to use external files.  But you would probably see an error when the file was being assembled if there were a problem with that.
