After I hit send, I got to wondering and ...? On Trailing Edge, tape
BB-J724A-SM_1980 contains the IBMSPL sources, including the source code
for the PDP-11 code.
One of the included files is MACDLX.EXE, a MACRO-11 cross-compiler.?
This is what I remember using.
I guess I'll load some of that stuff and see what I remember.? If it's
from 1980, then it's going to need patches...? All my careful SPR's...?
Of course, then there is the simulated PDP-11 and DTE and simulated IBM
mainframe (maybe running on Hercules).? Ouch.
So I can put up something for you to cross compile on.? Personally, I'd
stick with MIM::. I caught some arcane bugs in Tops-20 DAP with that
fine system. I can give no higher complement to any computer.

Actually, I do know of MACY11.? There is support for its particular
file type scattered through a number of source modules in Tops-20
(DAPLIB, LPTSPL, EXEC, other Galaxy modules).
For some reason, I can not remember whether I used it to assemble and
build the DN60 sources.? I think I might have used something
different, which seems odd.? Man, that is frustrating.? It wasn't
/that/ long ago...
I've got a pretty complete PDP-8 simulator environment, though; FOCAL
and everything.
