How to assemble z80 software with WinCPC
Use for example the asm code on the author's contact page [1] Open it in the z80 assembler and compile it. The software give you the entry point adress and the size.
- execute it :
 
CALL &8000
- save it on a dsk ( should be insert of course ):
 
SAVE "flynn.bin",b,&8000,&1C
- to execute the saved binary :
 
MEMORY &7FFF LOAD "flynn.bin",&8000 CALL &8000
