Emacs Major mode for 64tass/paw64 development

Paw64 Mode

paw64-mode is the beginnings of an Emacs major mode that provides font-lock(syntax highlighting), column-oriented indentation and shortcuts for assembling and running programs in an emulator.

This mode is in an early stage of development, so fasten your seatbelt if you're taking it for a ride.

Commands

Binding	Command	Description
C-c C-b	Insert Basic Header	Insert minimal basic program at $0801 to start program with SYS.
C-c C-c	Assemble current buffer using 64tass	Assemble current buffer (ie, myprogram.asm) to disk (ie, myprogram.prg) in the same folder as the source buffer
C-C C-x	Assemble(64tass) and run (x64)	Assemble current buffer and launch resulting binary in VICE(x64)
C-C C-m u	Untroll/Expand macro	Expand macro or generative directive (such as .rept, .for or range())

Indentation

Indentation is context sensitive, and geared towards working in three columns: label, assembly instruction, comment. Indentation level for assembly instructions and comments are derived from indentations used in the buffer, and falls back to paw64-indent-level and paw64-comment-indent-level if buffer resolution fails.
