Abstract
This article describes a set of programs that have been written to enable the Sigma 5 computer to assemble programs for the PDP-11 minicomputer. It consists of two parts: a system procedure deck, which allows SIGMA METASYMBOL to assemble a source language similar to PDP’s own PAL-11; and a secondary loader, which reformats the Sigma 5 load module into PDP-11 absolute binary format and punches it onto paper tape. The syntactic differences between this assembler and PAL-11 are described, as well as the process of generating a PDP-11 program using this program set on the Sigma 5.
