Macros for structured programming in DECsystem MACRO-10

MACRO-10 Structured Macros

The macro definitions in this project allow structured programming control constructs to be used in DECsystem-10 assembly code.

To see it in action

• You must have a working TOPS-10 host with MACRO-10 and LINK-10 support.
• You must have a means to move text files into TOPS-10 (Kermit, for example).
• Copy all files in the STRUC2 folder into a TOPS-10 build directory.
• Issue command "DO CLEAN" then "DO BUILD" to yield STRUC2.UNV.
• Issue command "DO TEST" to assemble tests.

Status of this implementation

• This project implements all intended programming macros.
• This repo needs cleanup, better documentation, and better tests.
