I have now moved from editing and assembling .zasm Z80 Assembler files using the custom-written zasm-cocoa app and I am now using BBEdit with a custom Z80 Assembler BBEdit Codeless Language Module plist
to use, put this .plist file
Z80 Assembler BBEdit Codeless Language Module.plist
in
~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Language Modules/ folder
