with the command-line assembler GAVRASM in a window-oriented
environment.

Features:
- Creates convenient batch files for calling the assembler.
- Once configured, all necessary informations are stored
  in a project file, and assembling is just a one-click task.
- Configuration of parameters for assembling is included.
- View the list file output and the created batch files.
- Edit your assembler source file and any include files
  (the editor displays line- and column information for
  convenient error editing).
- If you view the list file, and if it reports any errors,
  you can easily open the source/include file and correct
  the code on the erroneous line.

Installation:
- Unpack the zip-archive to a directory, where you have
  write-access-rights to.
- Place a reference to the exe-file on the desktop or in
  the start menue.

Start a new project:
- Start gavrasmw.
- Select "Setup" from the menue.
  In the "gavrasm" section, push "Select" and navigate to the
  gavrasm.exe executable. Select the desired command-line
  parameters for the assembler.
  In the "Source Code File" section push "Select", navigate
  to the desired path (create a new directory, if so desired)
  and give the source file a name.
  Either push "Save as default" or "Save as Project File" (or
  both). If you save the informations as a new project file,
  give the project a name.
  Push the "Close" button.
- Select "Edit" and "Source" from the menue. The editor
  window opens with a standard assembler source code frame.
  Type in your source code, select "File" and "Save".
- If you have a line with an include directive in your source
  file, and if the include file is not a "*def.inc" file, you
  can edit the include file by selecting "Edit" and the
  appropriate include file. If that include file does not yet
  exist, it opens with a standard file header. Include files
  can be nested, a maximum of five include files can be
  handled in this version.
- Select "Assemble" from the main window to start the
  assembler in a command line window. Actually, this creates
  a batch file and starts it.
- View the list or error output of the assembler by selecting
  "View" and "Listfile" or "Errorfile". If there are errors
  reported, use "Error" and "FindNext" to display the error
  lines. If you're at such a line, select "Error" and "Open
  file" to open that file in a new window. The cursor will be
  in the line where this error occurred. Correct it, save the
  file and close this window. Proceed with the next error, if
  any.
- View the batch file content by selecting "View" and
  "Batchfile". Any changes to that file, with an external
  editor, will be overwritten by the next "Assemble"
  operation!

Start an existing project:
- Start gavrasmw.
- Select "Setup". If you'd like to work with other than the
  default settings, select "Load Project File" and navigate
  to the desired project settings file (*.asw).
