It was published by Crystal Computing. The program was designed to make Z80 machine code programming easier,[1] with full symbolic instructions, and an editing style similar to the Spectrum's built-in BASIC. Zeus Assembler was later re-released by the manufacturer of the ZX Spectrum, Sinclair Research. Overview{{see also|Zilog Z80#The Z80 assembly language}}Zeus is a two-pass assembler that allows full use of the Zilog Z80 processor's mnemonic instruction set. It was the first assembler to tokenise the source code, an innovation by Neil Mottershead. It features two main command modes; assembler and editor,[2] and includes an auto line-numbering facility, and various subroutines for use within the user's programs, as well as printer output[3] and basic assembler features such as labels and expressions.[3] Monitor and DisassemblerThe previous year Crystal Computing had released another machine code tool for the 16K ZX Spectrum called Monitor and Disassembler that could be used in conjunction with Zeus.[5] While Zeus has a monitor included,[4] the more extensive Monitor and Disassembler allows for disassembly, the display and editing of the processor registers, as well as code substitution and the ability to move blocks of memory.[3] Alongside Zeus, Monitor and Disassembler was later re-released by Sinclair Research.[5] ReceptionZeus Assembler was well received by the computing press. Your Computer praised it as well thought-out, with good auto-line number, renumber, and block delete functions.[6] Sinclair User and Big K highlighted the program's ease of use for beginners,[7][4] while also being a very powerful tool in the hands of an expert.[7] The necessity of exiting the assembler in order to save any generated code was cited as a potential drawback, especially for beginners.[3] Sinclair User also praised the documentation as the best of any assembler available at the time, for its use of step-by-step instructions and code examples.[7]References1. ^"Six of the Best", ZX Computing, December–January 1983/84 issue(p.71), Argus Specialist Publications 2. ^"Zeus Assembler review", Home Computing Weekly, issue 36 (p.52), Argus Specialist Publications, November 1983 3. ^1 "New Companies on the Sinclair Bandwagon", Sinclair User, issue 21 (p.64), ECC Publications, December 1983 4. ^1 "The Extended Spectrum", Big K, issue 9 (pp.70-71), IPC Business Press, December 1984 5. ^News, Home Computing Weekly, issue 29 (p.5), Argus Specialist Publications, September 1983 6. ^1 "Spectrum Assemblers and Monitors", Your Computer, Vol. 3, No. 5 (pp.54-55), IPC Business Press, May 1985 7. ^1 2 3 4 [https://archive.org/details/sinclair-user-magazine-015] "Zeus Assembler Review", Sinclair User, issue 15 (p.29), ECC Publications, June 1983 External links
