So this is NOT the same as the "m11(1)" in 2BSD (which is written in itself, i.e. MACRO-11)! Once upon a time I wrote some first-year assignments in PDP-11 assembly on a PDP-11/60 running 7th Edition, and we used a MACRO-11 assembler with a manual I had bought for it that was clearly directly produced by DEC (but I think I bought it at the university bookstore). Would that DEC manual have been for the UCB m11(1) or a sibling, or was the UCB (nee Harvard) M11 a reimplementation of the DEC RT-11 MACRO-11 assembler? I wish I could find my printout of the main assembler project I did that year -- it was a complete arithmetic expression parser (with nested parenthesis support) for an integer calculator that I implemented based on a nice flowchart I had found in a book at the time (the basic assignment didn't require operator precedence or parenthesis support, but with the flowchart I found it very easy to implement the whole works). I probably accidentally recycled that box of paper though.... -- Greg A.
