Thank you, that answers my question. >>> Did any of the PDP 10 cross assemblers make it past the 70's? Then I suppose you were asking for a cross assembler *targeting* the PDP-10? I have never heard of such an assembler from the 70's. Supposedly the initial PDP-6 software was cross assembled from a PDP-4, but I think that's lost. The only modern PDP-10 cross assembler I know of is written in Erlang, but I'm guessing it doesn't support macros.
