DEC not only wrote the CP/M operating system for 8080-based micro-computers, but also produced the MAC macro assembler language. This language was almost exactly similar to the DEC Macro-11 language, apart from the actual CPU instruction set. I know, because my first programming job was on the PDP-11/70, and I tested all my macros on my CP/M machine at home before trying them at work so I wouldn't cause system crashes! — Bobp0303 13:28, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
I cleaned up the text, fixed some of the links, and made this a stub rather than a "needs cleanup" article. I also removed the paragraph about CP/M and Project MAC, which I think are actually incorrect: CP/M was a product of Digital Research, not DEC; and Project MAC was an MIT AI project, not related as far as I know to DEC's "macro" assembly languages. If I am wrong, please post sources documenting it! Tim Pierce 18:25, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Problem in the hello world example
[edit]The hello world example produces errors when I try to assemble it under "RT-11SJ (S)V03B-00G" on my PDP-11/34; perhaps this is too early a version of MACRO11? Works in the simulated V04.00C from simh:
