Is easy! Is like BASIC! Look this example:
LD A, 04AH
LD HL, 021ABH
LD DE, 00390H
CALL My_Routine
CP 6
Total: 67 bytes
(MSX-DOS texts, 0D+0A = Enter)
I can compress it, and get:
ld_token,09,"A",09,4A,0D
ld_token,09,"HL",09,AB,02,0D
ld_token,09,"DE",09,90,03,0D
call_token,09,label_001A,0D
cp_token,09,06,0D
Total: 31 bytes
It can reduces the file size and reduces the compiling time, without
"eat" much CPU to save and load... :) And Daniel, don't forgwt that
M80, GEN80 and others compilers was made in another age for "CP/M
computers". And remember that this computers ran owner CPU versions,
uses owners I/O ports, etc... How you can optimize the source code?
Impossible!
We can say "COMPASS isn't faster! The others are slow!"
