There are several fine freeware Z80 assemblers, the most notable of
which are Z80MR and its successors and offshoots (e.g., Z80MRA and
Z1).  However, none of these will generate relocatable files in
MicroSoft .REL format.  Z80MR can be made to generate relocatable
modules but it takes a special linker, PMLINKER, or some such, to link
these modules together to produce an executable program.

As far as I know, looking for a freeware Z80 assembler that generates
MicroSoft .REL files is about as likely to succeed as a quest in search
of the Fountain of Youth.  In other words, I know of no such animal.
