Software Development System (SDS80C)

Package elaborated By The MICRO WORKS in 1981, more review...

It consists of 3 programs, the editor, an assembler and a monitor.

The Editor is full screen with one key commands, is something strange for the current standards, since you can only edit lines of 32 characters, another peculiarity is that you can go higher than the first line (and much more above) and really is not very intuitive to cut lines or join them.

In its favor we can say that it is ready to assemble, since when starting a line and pressing the space bar, it is positioned 10 characters to the right to start assembler without label.

Although it can be used as a general editor, it is not recommended since it can only be 32 characters wide

The commands of the editor are:

ENTER - go down to next line
SPACE - move cursor to next character, skipping blocks of spaces
(left or right arrow) - move cursor left or right one character
(up or down arrows) - move cursor up or down one line
(shift+left or right arrow) - move cursor to left edge or right edge, of last text on line
L - insert lines, exit with BREAK
D - delete lines, exit with ENTER
X - exchange text; insert or delete characters, exit with ENTER
F - find string (-F searches backwards)
C - find and change string (-C searches forward from the beginning)
A - do last find or change again (for global*)
P - go forward one page (-P goes backwards one page)
T - copy block of text
M - move block of text
J - jump to beginning or end
W - write file to tape
R - read file from tape
@ - assemble file
& - recover file after reset

The Monitor is a reduced version of CBUG
