Re: CP/M Z-80 Assemblers.

       SLR Systems (1622 North Main Street/ Butler Pa/ 16001) makes
a Z-80 assembler/linker set which is really nice.  In addition to being
extremely fast, it is done the way assemblers and linkers ought to
be done- with a lot of emphasis on the linker.  It also gives a lot
of options; with the ability to make one or two assembly passes (with
two you get listings with real numbers in the forward references, with
one you let the linker do the work); it offers Microsoft object format
as well as their own (which they describe in detail, another plus!).

       It has a couple of drawbacks; such as no macro capability and
the fact that it links in memory (so you can't make a .COM file that
exactly fits in memory).  The good news is that these things are in
the works for the next release, so they say.

       They advertise in micro magazines.
