In response about TAZM, version 3.1 of TASM already has the ability to do
unlimited labels, which was one of your original purposes to change, but then
all these parentheses and brackets came in, and I feel thats too confusing
and would just make me start making mistakes with values and addressing if I
had to adapt to this new system. I would personally like to stick with TASM
and writing code in assembly like I have learned to do from the start.
In response to David about Assembly Studio, I think it would be a great idea
if these plug-ins could be created so that all z80 calcs would be able to use
Assembly Studio to create programs. I would find that very useful... =)
