Freeware: Assembler - TINA

TINA, which stands for TINA Is Not Assembler, is a collection of tools to help the HLASM programmer.

Here are some other resources for the HLASM programmer:

Cole Software's Misellaneous Utilities page has some free tools that might help you: asm2zap and cccprint.

BTW: I call z/XDC® the Cadillac of Mainframe Assembler debuggers
Gilbert Saint-flour has written a program called TRIMMAC which can be used to speed up your assemblies which use macros. It trims out the comments as it copies the macro to another library. See the benchmark results of a large assembly. TRIMMAC is available in file 183 at the CBT Tape web site and from Gibert's web site.
