Another macro11 question - do the apostrophes in the listing indicate relocatable references, as they do in the DEC version? If so, then I don't think it's assembling this code correctly - 1.TITLE TEST RELOCATABLE REFERENCES 2 00

There are a lot of missing features in this macro11 already that are handled as no-ops, mostly regarding the listing. To do this properly would require implementing much of the missing listing functionality like paging, page titles, etc. I think the first step is to make it not fail on existing

I’ve been reading this conversation about macro11 and decided to try running a few old source files thru it. One problem I’ve noticed right away is that “.REPT 0” doesn’t seem to work as it did it the official DEC assemblers. A lot of code will do something like .REPT
