  • Abstract
    This paper describes a new software tool that addresses the deficiencies in the conventional text-based approach towards assembly language programming. The tool presents assembly codes in the form of hierarchical flow charts, whereby each layer represents a certain function or module. It is able to intelligently inspect and convert the assembly text to and from the flow chart format. An extensive collection of tools is provided for editing in the flow chart domain. The flow chart navigator allows the different parts and layers of the flow chart to be deceased easily. The ability to facilitate the visualisation of program flow and therefore aid in the debugging of codes makes this software an attractive tool for assembly programmers. This tool can also handle codes from different families of assembly languages
