Subject: [Simh] Assembler programming under Unix - was VAX/VMS

On a related note,
Programming in assembly language for modern Unix always seemed a bit
haphazard to me and the assemblers a bit non-standard and poorly
documented, but maybe I have a skewed view.
Does programming the VAX under Unix fair any better in terms of
assembler quality and documentation?
I appreciate that assembler programming for Unix may be frowned upon
given the C heritage.
Feel free to tell me I'm wrong... about anything!
Regards, Mark.

What is a good source to learn a bit about VAX/VMS and the
relationship of the VAX and PDP-11 architectures and programming
differences?
Hmm probably this list....😈
I looked at the Wikipedia article. I'm not sure it is entirely
accurate and it is sketchy on particulars.
Which one - the VAX/VMS article?
Also, can the Vax run v6 or v7?
32V is the original V7 to the 780.
Nothing there much that you will learn that you can not learn from V7
on the 11/70. It does have a newer compiler.
If you want to see UNIX on an 780, start with BSD 4.1
Thanks,
Will
