For larger programs, Atari also sold [Atari Macro Assembler], which used a separate full-screen editor, saved files to disk, and included a linker. This was, however, both slow and expensive. As a result, many programmers were left wanting something more powerful than Assembler Editor (notably with macro support, which it lacked) but faster and less expensive than Macro Assembler. This led to a thriving market for 3rd party assemblers on the Atari platform.
