Urbane Revisited

I’m writing an editor in machine language for Urbane in machine language. I wanted to use urbane for the decb portion of the program to work with the disk portion of the program. My copy of urbane wouldn’t work so I figured that it just got corrupted. So I went back to the forum to get the original version, and discovered much to my dismay that the distribution didn’t include an executable. Not to be daunted I downloaded MinGW and the source and compiled it again. Bonkers. It still didn’t work. With a little work i managed to figure out that the problem was carriage return line separators instead of line feeds. So I rewrote urbane to handle carriage returns, line feeds, and even carriage return line feed pairs for good measure. While I was about it I cleaned up the code. Got rid of most of extra files, and made it ANSI compliant. I even cleaned up the parameters. urbane infile -o=outfle -v -l -l=listfile -e=errorfile -x=xref. No parameters lists the parameters. I even included an executable. urbaneBD.zip
