### Introducing the MACRO-10 "Mini-Assembler" ### Introducing the MACRO-10 "Mini-Assembler"
I decided that the shortest turn-around from *assembly* phase to *run* phase (aka *crash-and-burn* phase) would be to I decided that the shortest turn-around from *assembly* phase to *run* phase (aka *crash-and-burn* phase) would be to
assemble the files in PDPjs itself. So the PDPjs MACRO-10 "Mini-Assembler" was born. Any machine that includes the PDPjs assemble the files in PDPjs itself. So the PDPjs [MACRO-10 "Mini-Assembler"](/modules/pdp10/lib/macro10.js) was born.
Debugger (like the machine below) now includes MACRO-10 support as well. Any machine that includes the PDPjs Debugger (like the machine below) now includes MACRO-10 support as well.
