MACN11 and LINK11

I'm interested in MACN11 because I'm trying to help Stephen Casner revive his EPOS operating system he wrote at ISIS. The new link I provided has source code as well as a .DOC file which is close to the previous link. I have checked that it assembles with MACRO and that a small test program generates a good listing, but I don't know if it has all the features Casner needs.

What's more, he also needs CMU's LINK11 with ISI extensions. It was written in the SAIL language. I found a LINK11.SAI file from SAIL (the lab), but it needs more files to build a complete program. Those other files I haven't found. If anyone has any information about these two tools I'd be grateful. Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 20:32, 27 March 2022 (CEST)

According to [11,SYS edit history] it looks like MACN11 evolved from MACX11. Maybe "N" means new? Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 20:44, 27 March 2022 (CEST)

Other PDP-10 cross assemblers

There was a plethora of other PDP-10 hosted cross assemblers. PALX was favored on ITS. I have seen MACX11 and MACY11. I suppose since MACN11 was mentioned in the article, it would not be out of place to add the others too. Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 20:36, 27 March 2022 (CEST)
