We're changing the computer support for the assembler-language programming
part of Ga. Tech's Computer Science School's first course in computer
organization and assembler programming.

Next fall I'll have DEC VAX Workstations.  A problem is that we'll run ULTRIX.
Its assembler, "as", is not suitable for a first assembler course where an
objective is to acquaint students with the general notions and techniques of
assembler programming.  I'm told there are no macro-instructions, no generated
code listings, no good textbooks.  I want to use DEC's MACRO assembler for
VAX-11, but it's for VMS!

Does anyone have or know of a macro assembler after MACRO-11's pattern that
will run under ULTRIX or UNIX?  There are good textbooks available for it,
and I coded macro-ll on PDP-11 minis some years ago and would enjoy teaching
its descendant.
