Emulator Source Load and Save

We'll need a couple of configuration options to achieve this. (Where is Perl installed? Where are the tools? etc.) And we have to add menu options and dialogues to the emulator. Since "my environment" is the classic emulator (the only one I can modify and compile myself) it's just too much work to enhance the GUI to support it. I'm not a GUI guy, I'm afraid.

Doing it all in C seems easier but we lose the features of the preprocessor...

Marcus, I've made a small package for exactly these 4 purposes:
compiling sourcefiles to RAM (or LIB) and listing all programs in RAM (or LIB) to a sourcefile.
It contains 4 batch-files (AddRAM/AddLIB where you just have to enter a list of sourcefiles as parameter, and ListRAM/ListLIB without any parameters) and Neil's 3 tools (asm, lib and pp) in compiled form (i.e. 3 EXEs, each less than 1 MB), so no Perl is needed at all.

It's very comfortable to use (I'm using it all the time), so if this small package would be interesting to you (or maybe even help you in integrating these features into the emulator), then just let me know and I'll upload it (it's just a 2MB ZIP-file).
