[HECnet] Off topic... MAC80 10B(112) 8085/Z80 Cross Asembler

[David Moylan]

Bruce’s original code was an 8080/8085 cross assembler which became distributed as part of the Kermit distribution.
He then started on his new (back in 1984) “beta test” version for the Z80 which was named ZAC80 to try and differentiate it.

Later on they recombined both products back into the one.

I think I’ve found what you are looking for here (and it’s probably mirror in other places as well):

and the “torture test” files:

I have the EXE file for a 8080/Z80 cross assembler, but can't find the
sources.. Anyone have a pointer?

It says "MAC80 10B(112) 8085/Z80 Cross Assembler" on the listing output
MAC80.EXE.1;P775252       19 9728(36)   29-Nov-1983

It's a "tops10 program"...

It can do both 8080 and z80 mnemonics, and the sources I have named mac80
can only do 8080, and they start like this...
