It's not same syntax as Microsoft M80, or DRI MAC. There was an 8080 macro assembler written in small-c by Hendriks ???? called SMAC or some such, that was m80 compatible and produced relocatable code. As far as I know, zmac only produced hex and binary. If you're not committed to emulating some particular cp/m assembler, the macros can be done under unix with cpp or m4, so the essential piece is the assembler itself. Yet another suggestion is to run a CP/M emulation under unix. You lose a lot of CPU speed, but for assemblies the diskio may dominate anyway. To see how this works, rlogin in as "cpm" at hopf.purdue.edu. This kicks you into a cp/m 2.2 emulation program. Change to drive B: and run "mac bios " to get an idea of how fast the emulation is for your purpose. Clarence Wilkerson .
