DOS compilers

These are all 16 bit DOS applications. To run them, get DOSbox from DOSbox.com.

Z80/Z180 v5.1. We have no Z80 hardware left. This is a piece of archaeology from the files on a development box. But the manuals have been converted to PDFs. To get going, run xs3.com, configure it for the Z80 cross compiler and then you can start. DOSbox is your friend.
Download x180.zip

8096/80C196 v5.1. Once a firm favourite, but now a memory with PDF manuals. Run with DOSbox. The file to run is xs3.com.
Download x196.zip RTX2000/2001/2010 v5.1. The Harris/Intersil stack machine in all its glory. Run with DOSbox.
Download xrtx.zip

v4 16 bit DOS compilers

As with the v5 compilers, these are 16 bit DOS apps that require DOSbox to run.
