MAC/65 is a 6502 macro assembler written by Stephen D. Lawrow and originally sold by [Optimized Systems Software] for the Atari 8-bit computers. It was first released on disk in 1982, then later on a 16 KB bank-switched "SuperCartridge".

As noted in the previous section, the resulting file MASTER.OBJ differs from the MAC XL 3.4i binary (found on the MAC/65 v. 3.6 source disks) only in the copyright text.

!!!A call for help
The source files of the work-in-progress versions of MAC/65 have not yet been analysed. It is unknown what are the new features introduced in each of the following versions:
* [MAC/65 1.01 (1986)|Mac65#MAC651.011986]
* [Assembler 3.4|Mac65#Assembler3.41987-12-21]
* [MAC/65 3.6|Mac65#MAC653.61988-01-07]
Comparing source codes of these versions to each other, and to the [source code of the released version 1.01|Mac65#SourceCode], would allow to discover the new features and document them. Yotta-thanks to all who help us here.
