HLA / 'hlaparse' is not recognized
« on: August 28, 2008, 09:55:58 PM »
Dear Mr. Zavitz:
I have a problem. Permit me to start from the beginning so that you ar fully awave of the chronological order.
1. Since I already had an earlier version of hla installed, to ensure compatibility between your book and the hla version, I changed the name of the old directory to “c:\hla_pre_8241”.
2. Thereupon I followed the directions in the book and went to http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/AsmTools/HLA/dnld.html .
3. Although I understand that the frozen version of HLA is v1.99 and is retained for those wishing to use the AOA text, it really wasn’t that clear that I should install HLA v1.103. Howsoever, I downloaded “HLA Installation Program (HLA v1.103, released 8/11/1008), hlasetup.exe” and successfully installed said version.
4. I proceeded to create the “projects folder” et al.
5. I use XP Pro with Microsoft Office (ver ’97), so I have the Console Window button available on a sidebar, permitting a one-click activation of the DOS emulator. With this flexibility, I write short batch files to adjust the path and change the active directory. In this case, “zav.bat” sets the path to hla (viz. C:\hla) and changes the active directory to “C:\hla\projects\chapt01_print_message”.
6. Here are the results:
C:\hla\projects\chapt01_print_message>path
PATH=C:\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office;C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.5\mi
ktex\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\hla;C:\hla\
include;C:\hla\hlalib;
C:\hla\projects\chapt01_print_message>dir
Volume in drive C is SQ003521
Volume Serial Number is B4BD-A73C
Directory of C:\hla\projects\chapt01_print_message
08/28/2008 10:54 AM <DIR> .
08/28/2008 10:54 AM <DIR> ..
08/28/2008 02:13 AM 142 print_message.hla
1 File(s) 142 bytes
2 Dir(s) 2,476,793,856 bytes free
C:\hla\projects\chapt01_print_message>hla print_message.hla
C:\hla\projects\chapt01_print_message>Echo off
The system cannot find the path specified.
C:\hla\projects\chapt01_print_message>c:\hla\hla print_message.hla
'hlaparse' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Your comments and observations would be greatly appreciated.
