Suppressing Unwanted Object Bytes

Sometimes we want to get an assembly listing that doesn't use up half a page of paper for each .AS or .HS line, listing three object bytes on each line.  A number of you have asked for a patch to show the source line without listing each and every one of those hex bytes.

Well, David Roberts, a subscriber in Australia, has come up with a simple way to do just that.  He uses macros!  David suggests these definitions:

!lm+10
.MA AS
.AS -"]1"
.EM

.MA AT
.AT "]1"
.EM

.MA HS
.HS "]1"
.EM
!lm-10

Now you can code text with >AS "THIS IS MY STRING", and use the .LIST MOFF option to suppress the hex listing.  That's really a "why didn't I think of that?"  Thanks, David.
