Program Title: CROSS ASSEMBLER for the IBM 370 version 4.2 (Disk 1 of 3)
|
||
PC-SIG version: 3.3
|
||
|
||
PC/370 is a cross assembler that runs on the IBM-PC, AT, or XT and lets
|
||
you compile and run IBM 370 assembly language programs.
|
||
|
||
These programs are well-documented with an excellent example demo set up
|
||
to be run by a batch file. This is the most complete emulation of the
|
||
VM370 assembler that can be found. A generous debugging and erase
|
||
facility is also given to ease complete development cycles without the
|
||
big blue box.
|
||
|
||
Version 4.2 is loaded with new features, here are just a few:
|
||
|
||
o PC/370 assembler subroutines may now be called from Micro
|
||
Focus COBAL/2 programs running either in extended memory
|
||
protected mode or normal MS-DOS real mode. Standard linkage
|
||
conventions are supported. The
|
||
|
||
o PC/370 run time emulator can now be made resident to
|
||
eliminate loading it from disk storage for each program or
|
||
subroutine execution. As part of making the emulator
|
||
reusable, debug now supports restoring traces.
|
||
|
||
o An optional hardware assist for the CVB and CVD 370
|
||
instructions using the 80x87 math co-processor can speed up
|
||
the instructions by up to a factor of 4.
|
||
|
||
o Two new supervisor calls have been added. SVC 36 will load a
|
||
program or file into a predefined area of memory (useful for
|
||
overlays), SVC 37 defines user SVC exits for modifying native
|
||
SVC support without requireing the overhead of an emulated
|
||
interrupt driven shell.
|
||
|
||
o The cross assembler now supports the copy statement to allow
|
||
includeing source code files.
|
||
|
||
o The linkage editor now supports option U to allow external
|
||
unresolved references.
|
||
|
||
Please note that all three disks are required to run this program, the
|
||
other numbers in the set are #859 and #1352.
|
||
|
||
Usage: For beginning through advanced S/370 assembly language
|
||
programmers.
|
||
|
||
Special Requirements: None.
|
||
|
||
How to Start: Type GO and press (press enter).
