Creating new assembly files (units).


As you know, assembly files (usually with the .asm extension)) are the building blocks of assembly programs. Turbo Assembler uses tasm.exe to compile assembly files to objects. These objects can later be linked, together with other objects and libraries, to executables. In Tasm IDE these files are called units. One of the most important parts of Tasm IDE is the code editor. With the code editor you can make new files or edit previous saved ones.

When you start up Tasm IDE a new unit is automatically generated. In memory only though, nothing is saved to disk until you say so. Now you can enter your code that will make up the program. For saving or compiling units, see related topics.

To make a new unit:
- Select from the menu: File->New Unit
- Press the "New Unit" button:
