}You cannot use DRI's assembler/linker assembler set.  You MUST

I believe you are refering to two versions of Small C.  Version 1.2 (supports
float and Z80) requires ZASM/ZLINK.  Veersion 2.1 (supports more control
structures and the 8080 but not float) uses a DRI like assembler.  It isn't
quite like the DRI MAC or RMAC because it declares global and external symbols
differently.

Both the versions of Small C are avialable from SIMTEL-20.
