ASM help for Linux?

[Marlin]

No, it's a lot. Asm.hlp has 8 instructions starting with A, compared to 18 in the official references. A lot of new instructions have been added to the original instruction set.

Oh, how I wish, I could check that without switching OSes.

Looking at the intel documents,
I believe you are right about that.

The official reference also has a list of bookmarks (one for each instruction), it's just the pdf viewers for Linux that don't show it

Yes, they do have bookmarks,
and those even work with my KPDF.

But opening those PDFs is kind of slow, and I'd need to open another file
to get to the other instructions.

Your hint about the new instructions could be quite helpful,
so I'll consider looking at the intel documents in doubt.

Using newer instructions on the other hand,
may require checking, if the target systems do actually support them.

I do not know how I can open a chm using Linux.

You can find some hints here: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 22&t=42631

It's usefull to have a chm-viewer on Linux anyway. (eg to use the win-PB-help, VisualDesigner ...). If it doesn't work for you, I can still give you the html-pages.


@Trond
Might be that the contents of the ASM-zip-package provided by the purebasic team does not match your claims. Still it is the suggested basic information and should be of enough elementary value to start with.

I believe, you are right with that.

Installing chmlib-0.40 and kchmviewer-3.1 solved it for me.
(Newer version of kchmviewer would have resulted in much more work to install them.)

I did like the view in the windows version a tiny bit better,
but it still looks very nice now.
I am quite happy with it.

Thank you very much for your help Vera.


I found that kchmviewer can also extract chm content (to html).
This could also be useful sometime.

This thing is quite neat:

• it can open links in tabs,
• show html source code
• remembers the selected font size
• manages bookmarks
• ...
