How do we know it was not cross-assembled?
CP/M has a very interesting development history, so DOS may have.
With all the stuff I have seen on the web about old OS's,
source code is not the only thing needed. How it was bootstraped
on the original computer is important too.

Alas I got to use Crap-dows for internet and a few games.
PS. I hindsite why did they not have the time of day clock set to some
rational freq like 30 HZ?
