Maxam is a popular assembler for the CPC, made by the British company Arnor. It was available in three versions.
Maxam was the original version, available on 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.
