Z-Link is written in assembly language on a beta version of APW a friend of
mine loaned to me. Z-Link is about 3700 lines long and assembles to just over
10k.

As for PD assemblers, I don't know of any offhand, but I seem to remember a
simple one written in BASIC that was published by NIBBLE Magazine a while back.
Maybe someone else out there knows when?

I'll be buying my copy of APW 1.0 real soon now. Does anyone know if APW C is
out of beta test yet?
