RE: [MI400] A Blast from the Past

["Richard Hart" <rhart@xxxxxxxxx>]

Bruce,

So far yours is the only response.  I was interested in the "Macro
Processor" part of the System/36 (or System/34) assembler manual; how it
works.  It would be interesting to implement a simple macro
pre-processor on the MI front-end (CRTMIPGM) that Leif has kindly
provided.  However, I am not quite that advanced yet!

What got me interested in Macro instuctions is the parallel track I am
on in learning C, and how the #define facility works.

I can't think what happened to my manual; I had kept it for many years,
even though we never had the Assembler product on our System/34 or
System/36 (at a Bank in Kansas).  Those machines made it easy to "patch
in" assembled code, though.  Anyone remember $FEFIX!

Oh, well, off subject...sort of.

Rich

I happen to have a copy of the S/36 Programming with Assembler manual
(SC21-7908) if that's the one you're looking for.  It's not for sale,
but I
could run off a copy for you if you don't get any better responses.

And not to show my age around here, but I also still have my copy of the
S/34 Basic Assembler and Macro Processor Reference (SC21-7705).  Can't
say
that I've used either recently, but they sure got some use many years
ago
when I was an SE...

Everyone,

Leif suggested I ask the MI list if anyone knows where I can beg, buy,
borrow, or _____ a copy of the System/36 Assembler manual!   Well,
preferably BUY; used is OK.  I had a nostalgia attack last week when I
realized my one-and-only copy had disappeared somehow.  IBM no longer
sells them, evidently.  [Do I hear laughter :-)?]

THX,

Rich Hart
