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. >> On 3/6/20 9:38 PM, Thomas DeBellis wrote: >> >> Actually, I do know of MACY11.

I think I might have used something different, which seems odd. Man, that is frustrating.

Don?t know if exists under TOPS-20, but it certainly would have run under PA1050. >> >> Bob
