Perhaps that is something I can look into if I ever update the conv*
utilities. It does make sense, I admit :)
To answer Andrey's question: AsmComp takes the text bytes and turns them
into a single byte. For example the "C9" (two bytes) would be converted into
É (201 in decimal) saving a byte of space. Your program size is effectively
halved.
AppGuru does not deal w/things like MirageOS - since I wrote that specially
targetting Flash app development. The first few tutorials were standard
assembly programs so that the reader could get a feel for the language. Look
at AsmGuru for information on standard assembly. I don't think MirageOS was
out when I wrote AsmGuru - but like Harper mentioned, it does cover Ion and
SOS (I think :))
Finally, AFAIK you can't use B_CALL()-style macros.
HTH,
