[net.micro.cpm] Macro assemblers for cpm/80 systems

ddb@mrvax.DEC (DAVID DYER-BENNET MRO1-2/L14 DTN 231-4076) (09/05/84)

I'm looking to buy (or simply acquire, if legally possible) a macro assembler
to use on a z80 system running cp/m 2.2 .  One concern is compatibility
with existing public-domain software whose source is available.

I know of the existence of MAC and M80, but I don't know how compatible
they are or which is more widely used for producing public domain software.

I'm also interested in a linker compatible with the assembler, and a symbolic
debugger (ZSID?  what other choices are there?).

I'm willing to pay as much as some prices I've seen advertised for the
DR or Microsoft products; but of course I'm willing to pay less, if there's
something good enough available for less.

Please respond direct to me, and I'll summarize if there's enough interest.
