View source for MIDAS

An [[assembly language|assembler]] with [[macro]]s written at MIT.  First for the [[TX-0]], then ported to the [[PDP-1]], and then to the AI Lab [[PDP-6]]. The primary assembler in [[Incompatible Timesharing System|ITS]].

Due to the popularity of some ITS applications such as Maclisp and MacHack VI, MIDAS was ported over to other PDP-10 operating systems in order to assemble those applications.
