Subject: Z80 compilers

I got a Z80 assembler from a DEC machine in Marlboro, MA years ago when they
had a PD CP/M software repository there (to support their Rainbow and Robin
machines).  I forget the name of the system, but it was run by Bernie Eiben.
Anyways, they had an assembler called ZASM which assembled source files with
the .Z80 extension.  It came in a .LBR file with ZASM.COM and ZASM.DOC.
The .DOC file is quite extensive and describes the Z80 macro assembler.
Among other things, it can produce .HEX or .REL files, but I thought that some
of the pseduo-ops were either non-standard (not compatible with MAC/RMAC),
or had various non-standard forms.  When the assembler is invoked it claims to
be the "CROMEMCO Z80 Macro Assembler version 03.04".  I'm not sure if its been
put in the PD by CROMEMCO (before they went under), but Ernie was pretty good
about not keeping pirated software online.  Is this also on SIMTEL20?  I
thought that most of the software I found in Marlboro was also on SIMTEL20.
