PDPjs MACRO-10 Mini-Assembler Tests
-----------------------------------

The PDP-10 machine below automatically loads and assembles [TEXT.MAC](TEXT.MAC.txt), one of the
first tests of the built-in PDPjs MACRO-10 Mini-Assembler.

[TEXT.MAC](TEXT.MAC.txt) is a copy of the file listed on p. 7-9 of the
[MACRO-10 Assembler Programmer's Reference Manual (June 1972)](/pubs/dec/pdp10/).  It's a simple test
of nested macro definitions, recursion, expressions using shift operators and character constants,
and pseudo-ops **IRPC**, **IFE**, **IFN**, and **EXP**.  It generates 4 words of data. 

{% include machine.html id="testka10" %}

After the machine executes the following command:

	a 100 /apps/pdp10/tests/macro10/TEXT.MAC

the following results should appear:

	starting PCjs MACRO-10 Mini-Assembler...
	loading TEXT.MAC
	4 words loaded at 000100-000103

and if you dump the first 4 words with the command `db 100 l4`:

	000100: 014101 102103  003 004 011 004 041  ....!
