Fellow travelers, I have been looking for a 'good' Z80 macro assembler and have seen several references to ZASM as a recommended way to go. Does anyone know where I could get it? I have tried the SIMTEL20 archives but couldn't Find it there. Does anyone have an alternate suggestion as to favorite Z80 macro assemblers? I have downloaded Z80MR from SIMTEL but haven't tried it yet. The only thing I didn't like about it from reading the docs is the 6 character limit on labels. Is the limit in ZASM the same? Around 16 characters would be enough, I'm not that verbose. If you have a favorite commercial version that is *inexpensive* , tell me about that too. Also a note to/about Rick Surwilo's Z8E debugger: absolutely amazing!! If you do any Z80 assembly work, don't miss this one. david brown jdb@ncsc.arpa

ZASM is NOT public domain. It's copyrighted by Cromemco and somehow
ended up being made available on a few BBS's. We do not have it on
SIMTEL20.
Z80MR has had many good compliments and is PD.
