Thanks everyone who replied to my question about learning MACRO.  Here
is a summary of the replies i received:
	  "Programming in Assembly Language, VAX-11"
	  By Edward F. Sowell, published by Addison-Wesley
	  "VAX-11 Assembly Language Programming"
	   By Sara Baase,  (Prentice-Hall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs,
	   New Jersey 07632, 1983).  
If you can arrange it, DECUS sponsors a one day seminar in Cincinnati in
May on "Getting Started with VAX Macro".  May 15th, I think.
        VAX_ASSEMBLER.HLP
        by Ned Freed (MATHLIB Project, Harvey Mudd College)  <NED@YMIR>
        (c) 1985
	"Computer Programming and Architecture, the VAX-11"
	Henry M. Levy, Richard H. Eckhouse, Jr.
	Digital Press (1980)
	(order number EY-AX008-DP-001)
The book by Sara Baase was the clear favorite of the people who replied.

May 15th, I think. I took that course in Anaheim last year -- it's well worth it if you have the time/money. Don't expect an in-depth treatment in one day; they give you enough to get started, and then it's up to you to go from there. The class materials alone are worth going...I got a VAX architecture manual, a class "textbook", a copy of the MACRO reference manual, and a couple odds and ends that I don't remember offhand. >-michael j. zehr Ed Thierbach
