Got a listing right here in front of me; good old DEC-10 assembler >(MACRO-10). Of course, this is version 23 or so. Now maybe the ORIGINAL >version was done in something other than MACRO-10. But we're off the >comp.emacs track here ... MIDAS was the name of the PDP-10 assembler used under ITS. I once read the MIT TECO source (version 162 I think, probably the very last version ever (at least on AI)). It was written for MIDAS. After the first screen or so of comments it was in ALL CAPS. Argh. I don't know how similar MIDAS is to MACRO-10; I think it uses the same opcode names and addressing mode syntax, but provides additional macro capabilities. -- Mike Haertel "Of course, we have to keep in mind that this year's Killer Micro is next year's Lawn Sprinkler Controller . . ." -- Eugene Brooks
