[A83] Re: Apps: part II




Well I must say that ZDS is the nicest IDE... for the same reasons that Dan
listed before...
in fact... to assemble the files I still used TASM, cause it was just a
habit to.. but I still used ZDS to edit the files... like Dan said, instead
of opening 20 instances of notepad... :)

I say.. give it a  try... it's worth it... and now that I saw that there is
a converter for *.hex --> *.8xk ... well I guess I'm going to drop TASM...
they again maybe not.. it's probably just quicker to use in some cases ...
you never know ....
