Maxam is a popular assembler for the CPC, made by the British company Arnor.

It was available in 3 versions: tape, disc or ROM.

Assembly language programs could be entered either using the built-in editor, or 'inline' in a BASIC program (in a similar fashion to that permitted by the BBC Micro), and then assembled by Maxam.

The program also contained a disassembler plus a number of simple memory management and debugging tools, such as a hex editor and graphical memory overview.

These were available by typing |MAXAM or |M, and (unusually) could be run in either MODE 1 or MODE 2.
