If you have a Coco3, you are not restricted to the 32-char screen. I sell a 
patch to Disk EDTASM+ that works with 40 or 80 character screens. It also works 
with 6309 opcodes and does more.

You can look at RainbowIDE or PhoenixIDE for assembly on a PC. I like 
RainbowIDE. CCASM can be used for command line assembly and it is part of both 
IDE systems.
