I used to use a "Cambridge 6502 assembler" ROM. ? Either way, could
pass it large source files, which could include and daisy-chain
others.  Certainly had no problem writing long code, and very modular
code. (Got a folder on the econet with lots of individual subroutines
I used to include as needed.)  Just used Edit or Twin (better for
copy-paste between files!) to code in.
