Microsoft MACRO-80

Microsoft MACRO-80 (often shortened to M80) is a relocatable macro assembler for Intel 8080 and Zilog Z80 microcomputer systems.[1] The complete MACRO-80 package includes the MACRO-80 Assembler, the LINK-80 Linking Loader, and the CREF-80 Cross Reference Facility. The LIB-80 Library Manager is included in CP/M versions only.[2] The list price at the time was $200.[3]

Overview

A MACRO-80 source program consists of a series of statements. Each statement must follow a predefined format. Source lines up to 132 characters in length are supported. M80 accepts source files almost identical to files for Intel-compatible assemblers. It also supports several switches in the command string. Some can be used to control the format of the source file. A switch can be set to allow support for Z80 mnemonics.[1]

MACRO-80 runs on Digital Research CP/M,[2] Intel ISIS-II,[2] Tandy TRSDOS,[2] Tektronix TEKDOS,[2] and Microsoft MSX-DOS.[4]

gollark: I just powered my laptop on and ignored it.
gollark: What do you mean what am I doing?
gollark: What if GPT-3 Olivia text generation?
gollark: 802.11s is an open-source standard for connecting wireless devices without having to set up infrastructure. It operates on Layer 2 and makes sure that all nodes can see each other on a bridged Layer 2 network (as if they were all plugged into a switch). Any Layer 3 infrastructure will work on top of this. An IP router and DHCP clients will work well. More sophisticated infrastructure can be implemented depending upon the use case. (eg Batman, Bird, OLSR etc.)
gollark: No.
