  You should note that there is a definite syntax difference between
input for CP/M's ASM, and M80. M80 source files usually get the extension
".MAC". Also the object files differ (".REL" vs ".HEX"). M80's linker
can do a lot more than the standard Digital Research stuff.
  I haven't got the manual at hand, sorry.

>cref80
Creates a cross-reference listing from a special cross-reference file
plus the source file. The cross-reference file can optionally be created by
M80.

>disilog
Never heard of this one before... a disassembler maybe???

>lib
Used to build and maintain libraries of object files.

>zsid
A z80 version of sid, the Symbolic Instruction Debugger. It
can read symbol tables to get more readable output.

>Can anyone give me information on these?

If you want a more thorough discussion of Macro-80 use & syntax, mail me.
