THE MACRO-80 PACKAGE The MACRO-80 package is a powerful and flexible assembly language developement system designed for Z-80 and 8080 assembly language programming. It includes four Microsoft Utility Software modules: MACRO-80, LINK-80, CREF-80 and LIB-80. Systems supported: CP/M, ISIS-II, TEKDOS. .................................................... MACRO-80 MACRO-80 is a relocatable macro assembler for 8080 and Z-80 microcomputer systems. It can be used to develop assembly language programs, subroutines, user I/O drivers and for virtual memory. MACRO-80 incorporates almost all "big computer" assembler features without sacrificing speed or memory space. MACRO-80 resides in 14K of memory and assembles over 1000 lines per minute. It has these special features: * Macro capability * Relocatability * Conditional Assembly In addition MACRO-80 provides comment blocks; variable input radix from base 2 to base 16; octal or hex listings; an INCLUDE statement that assembles alternate source files into the current program; PRINTX statement; PHASE/DEPHASE statements; the ability to accept both 8080 and Z-80 opcodes; a complete set of listing controls. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. LINK-80 LINK-80 is a versatile linking loader that allows any number of programs to be loaded with one command. With LINK-80, relocatable modules may be loaded in user-specified locations and external references between modules are resolved automatically by the loader. LINK-80 performs library searches for system subroutines and generates a load map of memory showing the locations of the main program and subroutines. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. CREF-80 CREF-80 is a cross reference facility. It supplies a convenient alphabetic list of all program variable names along with the line number where they are referenced and defined. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. LIB-80 The LIB-80 library manager allows the user to build or list subroutine libraries. LIB-80 compiles subroutines into a single library; LINK-80 is used to search the library and call just those routines that are specified for a particular program. **************************************************** Microsoft MACRO-80 Reference Manual The MACRO-80 Package Reference Manual is available as the following files: MACRO-00.MAN : contents, index and chapter 1 MACRO-01.MAN : chapter 2, part 1 ç MACRO-80 MACRO-02.MAN : chapter 2, part 2 > assembler MACRO-03.MAN : chapter 2, part 3 / MACRO-04.MAN : chapter 3, CREF-80 Cross Reference Facility MACRO-05.MAN : chapter 4, LINK-80 Linking Loader MACRO-06.MAN : chapter 5, LIB-80 Library Manager MACRO.AA.MAN : appendix A, TEKDOS Operating System All files are WordStar document files set to 66 lines per page and 80 characters per line.
