FCCZ is a pretty standard Motorola style memonic which I've seen supported
in many assemblers. I means Form Character Constant with Zero terminator.

  FCCZ 'ABC'
  - is equivalent to -
  FCB 'A','B','C',0

The OS is conditionally assembled as one large source file which is created
from several input files with my MACRO preprocessor. There are .BAT files in
my source tree which do this for you (there should be directions).

For assembling it under a different toolset, probably the easiest thing to
do would be to run my MACRO to generate a single .ASM file which you could
then work on.
