I've had an assembly source file with messed up spaces/tabs,
and with lots of comments. Difficult to read if you have the
code like:
---------------
start lda #0; comment
sta dummy ; xxx
tay
loop iny
bne loop; back to loop
rts
---------------
This looks much better when it is "pretty-printed" like this
after by the assembler (or other tool):
---------------
start lda #0 ; comment
sta dummy ; xxx
tay
loop iny
bne loop ; back to loop
rts
---------------
Do you know the "recomment" utility? I used it to
disassemble and pretty-print the output (see
http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/firmware/computers/pet/d/rom-1.html
for example).
I think I remember that the original @ASS or other
assemblers running on the C64 itself output the formatted
listing that could be redirected to a file.
Well, just an idea from a problem I had lately.
