Has anyone tried out Codesmith-86 yet? It looks like a real nice package which
toggles back and forth between the screen (graphic or otherwise) and the
code being traced. It also allows up to 8 windows into different parts of
memory. All in all, it looks really nice. I just talked with the author
who just quit as a consultant to Mattel Electonics and he is sending me a
version to check out. Is this a worthwhile product?

P.S. He said he is coming out with an assembler which will assemble 6000
lines/min. with "about 3/4 of the macro facilities of the IBM assembler".

From: Brackenridge <Info-IBMPC@USC-ISIB> I reviewed Codesmith-86 in issue #40 of Info-IBMPC. Since that time there have been many updates and the bugs I mentioned have long since been fixed. I am very pleased with it and use it every day. The only objection is that it takes about 100K so you need lots of memory. It also takes a while to load so Debug is sometimes more useful for a quick patch. It also loads an init file which must be in the directory you are running from. The assembler is exciting news I will watch for it and announce it here as soon as it is available. -------
