Oricaid consists of Toolkit, Monitor and Assembler.

Toolkit is for basic programmers and provides very useful facilities such as renumber, find, auto line numbering, old, shrink, and many others.

Monitor is a simple but useful machine code monitor. It has all the basic features such as fill, go, find, jump, memory display and relocate.

Assembler is very powerful. You write your assembly code as in Basic and assemble it by typing "!.A". Assembly is very quick; if it finds a mistake, it reports it in intelligible English, none of this "Err 1.C at line 40" business. A very powerful facility is provided in the form of BYT and TXT. These replace the equate functions and are far easier to use. Assembled code can be converted into Basic data statements by a command supported in toolkit.

Oricaid is very easy to use and the only bug I found was with the convert command in Toolkit. This didn't accept hexadecimal numbers so I had to use decimal. If you are seriously into programming, assembler alone would be worth the price. Very good value for money.
