MAC/65 is a logical upgrade from the OSS product EASMD (Edit/ASseMble/Debug) which was itself an outgrowth of the Atari Assembler/Editor cartridge. Users of either of these latter two products will find that MAC/65 has a very familiar "feel". Those who have never experienced previous OSS products in this line should nevertheless find MAC/65 to be an easy-to-use, powerful and adaptable programming environment. While speed was not necessarily the primary goal in the production of this product, we nevertheless feel that the user will be hard pressed to find a faster assembler system in any home computer market. MAC/65 is an excellent match for the size and features of the machines it is intended for.
MAC/65 was conceived by and completely executed by Stephen D. Lawrow. The current version of MAC/65 is only the latest in a series of increasingly more complex and faster assemblers written by Mr. Lawrow following the lead and style of EASMD. As a measure of our confidence in this assembler, it is entrusted with assembling itself, probably a more difficult task than that to which most users will put it.
