[stella] Zeropage/immediate load auditor

[Fred Quimby]

I'm sure some of you will find this useful.  If you haven't seen it before, 
this program finds errors in your code where you do a zeropage load instead 
of an immediate.  On the 2600, these are often not noticed because a zero 
page load to a TIA address typically returns the address itself, but not 
always.

For example, if you do this:

MONSTERHEIGHT=14

then:

  cmp MONSTERHEIGHT

when you mean:

  cmp #MONSTERHEIGHT

the bug may never occur during playtesting and may not make itself known 
until purchasers of your game complain!

So this program, which I will attempt to attach, seems to catch all such 
errors but may produce a few false positives.

To use, generate a .lst file with the -l switch in DASM, then:

auditasm<file.lst
