This is a followup to a request I and others have made for cross-development
tools that run under Unix. Thank you to all who responded, too numerous to
really mention here.
Following is a summary of the tools mentioned:
asm80 (aka 8080asm, etc): an absolute non-macro assembler for the 8080,
similar to ASM. Several people sent me copies,
and it was posted to the net recently.
z80dis (aka z80disass...): a rather hard-to-use z80 disassembler. Also
posted to the net recently.
Zilog tools: Commercial cross-development tools available from Zilog.
Includes full relocating macro assembler,
linker, etc. I haven't checked this out with
Zilog yet.
CP/M Simulators: wed@steinmetz.UUCP has mentioned that he is
working on a Unix CP/M simulator. I've also
seen ads from a company in W. Germany that
has one running under CP/M 68K, and is porting
it to Unix (available in a few months). These
tools could be used to run the normal CP/M
tools under Unix, albeit slowly.
Hope this helps! If enough people missed the asm80 or z80dis postings, they
should probably be re-posted to the net.

We (the University of Maryland) have a really strange set of programs we use for Z80 development work, including a relocating assembler that uses a modified Unix `ld', a Z80 instruction execution program, and a BIOS for CP/M. Running CP/M under zrun is *extremely* slow, and eats 785s for breakfast; but it does work. Also, using 4.x `ld' format means things like `ranlib' and `nm' work on these files, once those programs have been recompiled with the appropriate headers. These are available as part of the University of Maryland Software Distribution; contact Diane Miller or Bob Schwartz at the University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742; +1 301 454 7817 and +1 301 454 7690, respectively. Note that this is NOT the same as our 4.2 XNS distribution or our Sun ND distribution. -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 4251) UUCP: seismo!umcp-cs!chris CSNet: chris@umcp-cs ARPA: chris@mimsy.umd.edu
