What?

A program that allows you to Compile (with NASM), Run (with DOSBox) and Debug (with AFD) .asm files by just double clicking on them.

Why?

I'm Lazy.

How?

1. Download and extract the labsetup.zip from the Releases Page.
2. Run the afdbox.exe once
3. Right-Click on any .asm file and select afdbox.exe in the Open With context menu

To always open .asm files using afdbox.exe

1. Right click on a .asm file and open its Properties
2. Click on the "Change" Button next to the "Opens with" text
3. Select afdbox.exe

Modes

Debug

In this mode, the program will be opened in AFD after it is compiled. This mode is enabled by default.

Run

This mode will just execute the program after compilation. This is useful when the program prints something on the screen.

Changing Modes

Open afdbox.exe and press any key to switch between Run and Debug Mode.

Note

If you have moved labsetup folder after running afdbox.exe once, you will have to re-run afdbox.exe for the program to work again.
