Hello, it's me again...

Like some of you probably noticed already, I am being really cheap these
days  (I just got a pay check for 131.31 and a Mastercard bill for 100-ish)
and am trying to use the Simtel as best I can.

The thing is, I am looking for a moderately good macro assembler for Z80
mnemonics, and found a few in the <cpm.asmutl>.

Well, I have downloaded ALL of the ones described in the 00-index as a
"macro" assembler, and of the four, there was only one real macro
assembler (Z80MR-A), which allows only six characters for labels, so
I can't use it the way I envisioned.  Others (ZMACLINK, CROWECPM,
SMMACLINK, LASM-TDL) either lack the macro capacity and/or conditional
assembly.

May I suggest that the index directory be updated accordingly, or someone
can tell me how to "make
                        " them do macros... (or longer labels).

Thank you...
                                John Shin
