ASCII Tools for CP/M-80 are a set of tools for programmers and authors who want to have their source codes or articles respectively consolidated into a single ASCII file stored in the CPC6128. The main task was to create a set of tools in order to deal with very large source code ASCII files, that were transferred from Windows or MS-DOS Systems to the CPC6128 and vice versa. ASCII Tools have been under development since 1988 by KSL. The virgin name of the software was CPC-WRITE. In 2004, the first simple version of ASCII Tools for CP/M plus was presented at the CPC Meeting II organized by TFM. The latest version of ASCII Tools has been included in COSMOS application in 2021.

In 2026-2027 a new stand-alone version will be released for CP/M plus, which will support Graphics and Page Switching.
