The code in Barden's book was "meant" for EDTASM, but it's so simple that 
most 6809 assemblers can handle it.

Portal-9 assembles files of a project (called components) one-by-one by 
calling up CCASM automatically without your help.  However, there are a few 
things that need to be set for each component in order for them to be 
assembled.

in the left panel

1) an file format (multi-record, single-record, ROM, etc.)
         multi-record is how EDTASM saves LOADMable programs
2) an output filename (type in something like "sort.bin")
3) a disk file type (choose binary)
4) a disk image name
         main menu, Project, Add Target Floppy Disk, (type in a name)

In the left panel, make sure each .asm file reflects what is to be done 
during the build process.  In the 'virtual disk name' field, make sure it 
shows your .dsk image name (.dsk is assumed show this won't be shown).

That's basically it.
