• A text editor to write the program source in language ccz80 as UltraEdit, PSPad, NotePad++, etc.
• The compiler ccz80 (ccz80.exe file).
• The standard library (standard.ccz80 file).
• Library files necessary depending on the destination computer program (files cpc464.ccz80, cpc6128.ccz80, Spectrum.ccz80 or msx.ccz80).

1. Create a new folder on your hard drive.
2. Download the compiler and copy the file ccz80.exe, the standard library standard.ccz80 and the spectrum library spectrum.ccz80 to the folder you created.
3. Open a text editor (eg Notepad), write and save with the name characters.ccz80 in the folder you created the following ccz80 language program (after saving this program is not necessary to close the text editor):
   
   include "spectrum.ccz80"; // Use the library of Spectrum (the standard library is included for the library spectrum)
   byte i; // Declaring a variable byte
   stream (2); // Set the current channel to the main screen
   for (i = 32; i <= 128; ++i) // Loop where i starts with 32 and ending with 128 to execute the next line
       printc (i) // Call to function printc (included in the library spectrum.ccz80)
   return; // Ends the program and returns to BASIC
   
   
4. In Windows click Start/Run, type cmd and press OK to open a command window.
5. In the command window, go to the folder created using the command CD.
6. When in the folder you created to write the following sentence in the command window:
   
   ccz80 characters.ccz80 /org=50000
   
   If it shows an error message, check the source program written in step 3 and save it after correcting it. Is not necessary to close the command window for the next steps.
7. Run emulator ZX Spin and use the File/Load binary file. Push the button and browse to the folder characters.bin generated find the file in the folder was created after the preliminary step, typing 50000 as initial address and click the Load button to load the contents of the file in the memory of the emulator.
8. Finally typing the command in the emulator RANDOMIZE USR 50000 to run the program. That's it.

1. Create a new folder on your hard drive.
2. Download the compiler and copy the file ccz80.exe, the standard library standard.ccz80 and the Amstrad library cpc464.ccz80 to the folder you created.
3. Open a text editor (eg Notepad), write and save with the name characters.ccz80 in the folder you created the following ccz80 language program (after saving this program is not necessary to close the text editor):
   
   include "cpc464.ccz80"; // Use the library Amstrad CPC 464 (the standard library is included for the library Amstrad)
   byte i = 32; // Declare a variable byte and initialize with 32
   repeat (224) // Loop 224 repetitions to execute the next line
       printc (i++); // Call to function printc (included in the library cpc464.ccz80) and post-increase variable i
   return; // End the program and return to BASIC
   
   
4. In Windows click Start/Run, type cmd and press OK to open a command window.
5. In the command window to go to the folder created using the command CD.
6. When in the folder created to write the following sentence in the command window:
   
   ccz80 characters.ccz80 /org=#A000
   
   If you see an error message, check the source program written in step 3 and save it after the corrections. Is not necessary to close the window of command for the next steps.
7. Run the emulator WinCPC and use the File/Load binary file, enter as load address A000 and in the emulator type the setence CALL &A000 to run the program ccz80 created.
