Assembler Workbench

Assembler Workbench is a complete integrated 68000 machine code development package by Talent Computer Systems.

There are three main program modules which are accessed from a menu on screen:

• Full Screen Editor
• Assembler
• Monitor and Disassembler

The package allows you to edit, assemble, execute and then debug assembly language programs in memory without accessing the microdrives or disk drives.

Full on-screen help is also provided.

Advertised features include:

• Assembler can operate in a conventional two-pass mode or as a one-line assembler
• The Monitor offers a dual screen facility to assist in debugging graphics programs
• Trace code in RAM and ROM
• Loads and saves to backing store
• Multi-window display
• Set Registers
• Search, Move, Fill, Insert etc
• Job and Channel control
• ESC interrupts executing program

• On-line help (ie. on screen - this was before the days of the internet!)
• Trace code QDOS traps option
• Full window memory editor
• HEX and ASCII dumps
• Break and file access
• Function key definer

The author later released a Macro Assembler which consisted of just an editor and macro assembler.
