 RE: Mac/65 Is it worth buying?

  Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!  I used the atari editor/assembler to create
a disk copying program...it took 3 minutes to compile about 100 lines of code.
Using Mac/65 it took about 10 seconds and that included writing to disk 
(though I do use a ramdisk :).
  The debugging portion of MAC/65 (called DDT appropriately enough) is
unbeatable, it makes debugging a delight rather that the awful chore it was 
with the Atari cart.
  So, I give MAC/65 a 10 across the board...it is the best assembler/editor 
ever made for the Atari 8 bit.  And on top of all that...it is being sold by 
ICD, Inc...the number 1 atari 8-bit company.
