File vs. Listing

A file is the program (or document) that you actually type

into the computer. In your directory, a file has the word

ASSEMBLE after its name.

A listing is the assembled version of your file. In a

listing, such things as the "object code" are shown to the

Left of the program you typed in. (Listings are what are

used in these class notes.) In your directory, a listing

has the word LISTING after its name.
