I'm looking for a 8080 macro cross-assembler to run under unix. Our site had a program called zmac, which is fo Z80 and the manual page says: The Zmac assembler is modeled after the Intel 8080 macro cross-assembler for the Intel 8080 by Ken Borgendale. So does anyone know the name of this program, where to get it from or how to contact Ken Borgendale. The only thing left of zmac here is the manual page, so I can`t check the sources either. So finding a ftp site that has zmac would propbaly help me a lot. Please respond by mail. And please note that this article is a crossposting. -- NN NN NN NN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNN N NN N NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNN N NN N NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNN NN NN NN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

I think you can get zmac on simtel20 under unix-c. It's not same syntax as Microsoft M80, or DRI MAC. There was an 8080 macro assembler written in small-c by Hendriks ???? called SMAC or some such, that was m80 compatible and produced relocatable code. As far as I know, zmac only produced hex and binary. If you're not committed to emulating some particular cp/m assembler, the macros can be done under unix with cpp or m4, so the essential piece is the assembler itself. Yet another suggestion is to run a CP/M emulation under unix. You lose a lot of CPU speed, but for assemblies the diskio may dominate anyway. To see how this works, rlogin in as "cpm" at hopf.purdue.edu. This kicks you into a cp/m 2.2 emulation program. Change to drive B: and run "mac bios " to get an idea of how fast the emulation is for your purpose. Clarence Wilkerson .
