I was wondering as well, are there any VAX assembler manuals online, in
an easily-copyable form?
I've encountered html ones, but that isn't quite what I mean.
What do you mean, then? In what way isn't HTML suitable?
I don't mean to be obstreperous; I just think it would be
easier to help if you made it clearer what you need and
what you don't.
I'm a bit more used to using PDF for that purpose, since PDF data resides in a
single file - ergo, easier downloads.
To split hairs further, what do you mean by `VAX assembler
manual'? There's a paper named Assember Reference Manual
that came in Berkeley's Volume 2C for 3BSD, written by
Reiser (Bell Labs) and Henry (Berkeley); it is a compact
description of syntax and pseudo-ops, but doesn't list or
explain the VAX instruction set itself.
That would get me part of the way.
The best reference I know for the VAX instruction set is
the official DEC manual called VAX Architecture Reference
Manual (EK-VAXAR-RM), but at more than 500 pages it is not
easily-copyable even in the way we thought of copying when
it was published, i.e. that depicted on the cover of the
latter-day Lions book.
Does anyone have a pdf of it? Or know where I could get a copy?
I know, I'll start googling for it right away.
