Abstract
This article describes a set of programs that have been written to enable the Sigma 5 computer to assemble programs for the XDS 920/930 computers. It consists of two parts: a system procedure deck which allows SIGMA METASYMBOL to assemble a source language similar to the XDS 900-series METASYMBOL, and a secondary loader which reformats the Sigma 5 load module into the Universal Binary Language of the 900-series machines and writes it to cards or magnetic tape. The syntactic differences between this assembler and 900-series METASYMBOL are described, as well as the process of generating a 920 program using this program set and the Sigma 5.
