USTS034@UABTUCC.BITNET (Landy Manderson) (08/13/90)
My apologies for any duplicates you receive of this item. To cover all the bases, it was mailed to LIAISON and ASM370 lists. For the past zillion years, we have run Assembler G, a load-and-go version of OS/360 assembler which was/is supported by the University of Waterloo. The faculty loves ASMG, because it produces small, well-formatted dumps, and (at one time) was very IBM assembler compatible. The version we are running now is dated 21JAN78, and it is beginning to seriously show its age, especially now that we run MVS/ESA. To its credit, it continues to labor along, but it now gets several error messages while trying to interpret standard IBM macros such as SNAP and WTO. It will also not accept multiple libraries for SYSLIB. So, here's the question (FINALLY, you say)....is there a more recent version of this product, and where do I start to find out about getting it, or, are there other products out these days that accomplish the same goal? Thanks in advance for your help. Landy Manderson Lead Software Specialist UAB/TUCC User Services UAB=University of Alabama at Birmingham TUCC=The University Computer Center

Why not use IBM's HASM? It has a lot of the nice features of ASMG and has the benefit of being *the* standard IBM assembler these days -- it's required if you have any XA or ESA based systems anyway. It has one other big advantage: if you're a Higher Ed Software Consortium member, HASM is *cheap*. >Landy Manderson >UAB=University of Alabama at Birmingham >TUCC=The University Computer Center -- David Boyes | "Where's the ka-boom?
