In May 2009 I found that this site had completely changed, but the collected articles had been

Soapbox more annoying) the screenshots were lost in space.
Recently I remembered that I had saved them somewhere, years ago. So I was able to restore the

ASEM-51 step-by-step Installation on Windows XP


Last time I wrote an installation for ASEM-51, a two-pass macro assembler for the Intel MCS-51
family of microcontrollers, using the batch file INSTALL.BAT. For someone who do not like
anything that is running automatically, or things are not quite clear, here is a step-by-step
installation guide for ASEM-51.

The files we require are

ASEM-51 v1.3 for DOS/Windows (599 kB)


and a collection of the latest MCU files (255 kB).

1. Create a new directory on your harddisk, e.g. C:\ASEM51 and unpack


all files of the ASEM-51 package into this directory (see Figure 1).

2. Unpack MCUFILES.ZIP into a directory (see Figure 2).


Move the *.MCU you want to C:\ASEM51\MCU (see Figure 3).
Here I move the P89V51RD2.MCU only.

3. Edit System Variable: Start-->right click on My Computer-->Properties.


On System Properties click Advanced Tab, then click Environment Variables.
On System variables select Path, then click Edit and append ;C:\ASEM51
in Variable value (see Figure 4).

4. Define ASEM51INC environment variable:


On System variables (in Figure 4) click New,
fill Variable name with ASEM51INC
and Variable value with C:\ASEM51\MCU

5. Click OK and close all windows.

6. You can test by typing ASEMW in Command Shell (Start-->Run-->cmd).


You should get something like this (see Figure 5):

Be sure to use the Win32 binaries ASEMW.EXE and HEXBINW.EXE under


Windows XP (and later). They benefit of the Windows memory management and
can handle long file names. The 16-bit real-mode programs for MS-DOS
(ASEM.EXE and HEXBIN.EXE) are no longer running on 64-bit Windows
systems anyway.
