Hi, Kind of interesting that nobody so far came up with the from my perspective most natural usecase, one that hasn't to do with the way the programmer and/or his tool (the assembler) works but with the way the CPU works: ldx #$20 lda $F0,x loads from $0010 while ldx #$20 lda a:$F0,x loads from $0110. I had to use it i.e. in my ProDOS 8 loader. I'm accessing the stack directly. But for some typical 6502 loop termination optimization X is "one to large" so instead of lda $100,x I end up with lda $FF,x which I learned the hard way doesn't work as expected so I really needed a way to force the absolute mode lda a:$FF,x Best, Oliver ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo@musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.Received on Wed Dec 19 20:35:13 2007
