Die Angaben auf dieser Seite beziehen sich auf ARES v2.35β / ASM 2.2α.

Known Errors

• forward EQU, declaring opcodes/whole instructions: EQU-names misinterpreted as labels
• "Flashed" Cell disappears on redraw event
• Forms can't be filled within the built in browser (Keys are taken, as they were pressed with ALT), seems not to happen with IE as default browser
• Browser component acts strange in some situations, e. g. when toggling FullScreen
• Options: Font set to eg. Fixedsys with 8pt (9pt only possible!) --> graphics error in Monitor
• Dual Screens: Popup-Windows allways appear on the same screen with the main form (WinXP)
• Dual Screens: Core View doesn't show the "+" cursor on the primary screen (Matrox G-400, Win98SE)
• Evaluation of registers: different Read/Write limits: only write pointers postincremented
• If ARES is run from a write protected directory, error message pops up endlessly

Planned Extensions

User Interface

• Replace Watches VCL-List with faster self written object, reducing flicker
