Which program can you use to convert float into 5 bytes for ASM?

[mgkaiser]

Is there a way to write an assembler macro that takes a float constant and a name and emits "name .byte $00 $00 $00 $00 $00" where "name" is the name specified and the bytes are the float constant?

[mgkaiser]

Or even better, bake into one of the 6502 assembler a datatype called ".float" into which you put a float constant and it emits 5 bytes?

Mine has .df that does just that.

Mine has .df that does just that.

Which assembler is yours? Sounds like it might become mine too....

It’s very picky about petscii source, so be sure you are either natively on the system (I developed it on hardware) or converting your source files.
