{{packaging:assembler_workbench_package.jpg?direct|Packaging for Sinclair QL Assembler Workbench}}\\ 
Assembler Workbench is a complete integrated 68000 machine code development package by [[qlwiki:Talent Computer Systems]].


There are three main program modules which are accessed from a menu on screen:


  * Full Screen Editor
  * Assembler
  * Monitor and Disassembler


The package allows you to edit, assemble, execute and then debug assembly language programs in memory without accessing the microdrives or disk drives.


Full on-screen help is also provided.


Advertised features include:


  * Assembler can operate in a conventional two-pass mode or as a one-line assembler
  * The Monitor offers a dual screen facility to assist in debugging graphics programs
  * Trace code in RAM and ROM
  * Loads and saves to backing store
  * Multi-window display
  * Set Registers
  * Search, Move, Fill, Insert etc
  * Job and Channel control
  * ESC interrupts executing program
  * Disassembler included
  * On-line help (ie. on screen - this was before the days of the internet!)
  * Trace code QDOS traps option
  * Full window memory editor
  * HEX and ASCII dumps
  * Break and file access
  * Function key definer
  * Various screen layouts


The author later released a [[qlwiki:Macro Assembler]] which consisted of just an editor and macro assembler.


The rights to Assembler Workbench passed to [[qlwiki:QUANTA]] who have made an upgraded version available to their members through the [[http://www.quanta.org.uk|QUANTA Library]].
