I'm relatively new at this game, but I have been using ZSID
which (as far as I can tell) is the Z80 version of SID (which I
don't have.) The commands are very much like DDT, except that
A and L will process Zilog mnemonics. What I would like to get
is a package that disassembles to/from disk and sets up EQUates
on output, so that the file can be read back into M80 or some
other Z-80 assembler. I'm fortunate to be running a LOBO
MAX-80, since I can use both CP/M and LDOS (an operating system
for the [gasp!!] TRS-80.) What I have been doing so far is
transferring CP/M .com files over to LDOS and then using the
Misosys DISASM3 disassembler. After I get an ASM file fixed to
my satisfaction, I transferr it back over to the CP/M side. A
bit complicated, but it does work. If you hear of any programs
that do what I am looking for, please drop me a message.
Thanks,

Digital Research offers two additional debuggers for CP/M other than DDT. SID and ZSID. They are head and shoulders above DDT and similar in command structure. SID recognizes 8080 mneumonics while ZSID uses Z80 mneumonics. There is very little difference between SID and ZSID aside from that. Cost is somewhere around $75. Well worth the cost if you are a serious hacker. If you are only interested in disassembling without the other features you have grown to love in DDT then I would recommend DASM with the ZILOG library. It is my personal favorite disassembler. You will need the DOC file for RESOURCE, from which it originated, if you want to become expert at using it. DASM and RESOURCE are both in the PD.

The s/w that you refer to is NOT in the referred place. I
tried getting it when it first was announced, but the closest
thing was a VERY anemic alternative called ZDBUG17.LBR. Can
you find this hummer??
