Does anybody out there know of SLR Systems who produce a Z80 assembler
called Z80ASM (it's not <CPM.ASMUTL>Z80ASM24.LBR !!!) and also an
associated linker (SLRLNK?). I ask on REDUG because somebody has
recently requested Z8E35.ARK and i'm hoping that person (or anyone
else!) might know.
Thanks in advance

I ask on REDUG because somebody has >recently requested Z8E35.ARK and i'm hoping that person (or anyone >else!) might know. I suspect that EVERYBODY reading this newsgroup knows of SLR systems. I switched to the SLR assembler for a number of reasons. One, that it didn't force the "-$" construction on PC-relative branches (what's an assembler for, anyway, if you have to explicitly calculate the relative offsets???). But the biggest factor was its speed. I clocked it at around 23,000 lines per minute. At this speed, mammoth assemblies aren't a problem. I had gone to great pains to make my TED editor modular, for incremental assemblies; but with SLR, I could assemble the whole thing as a unit, and generate a .COM file, in less time than I could assemble a single module with any other assembler. In fact, I bought ECO-C primarily because it came bundled with a version of the SLR assembler. The latest address I have for SLR (1984) is: SLR Systems 1622 N.

Gee, I bought my copy of the SLR asembler so I wouldn't have to split your TED editor into a bunch of modules so I could assemble the beast! :-) Actually, I bought it so I could speed up your brother's serial line module of the bios without changing some of the SLR dependencies you guys used.... >The latest address I have for SLR (1984) is: > SLR Systems > 1622 N. Main Street > Butler PA 16001 > (412) 282 0864 I think that's what it was in ~1987.
