Bedford, Mass. : Digital Press, c1981. This is an excellent text. For out of print books, bookfinder.com is even better than ABE. Bookfinder searches several networks of OP dealers, including ABE but others as well. Do not use amazon for OP books; they search the same databases as Bookfinder but triple the price.

Actually, between that reference and the DECUS PDP-10 freeware at http://pdp-10.trailing-edge.com/ I think you'd be doing pretty well. In addition to the hundreds of megabytes of sources available there, you'll probably be particularly interested in the 10-65 package, http://pdp-10.trailing-edge.com/www/lib10/0101/index.html which is a interpretive-type assembler that is specifically for those learning the PDP-10 instruction set. -- Tim Shoppa Email: shoppa@trailing-edge.com Trailing Edge Technology WWW: http://www.trailing-edge.com/ 7328 Bradley Blvd Voice: 301-767-5917 Bethesda, MD, USA 20817 Fax: 301-767-5927 Article 7517 of alt.sys.pdp10: Path: news3.best.com!news2.best.com!news.maxwell.syr.edu!triton.skycache.com!cyclone2.gnilink.net!cyclone1.gnilink.net!typhoon1.gnilink.net.POSTED!not-for-mail From: "Chris Ward" Newsgroups: alt.sys.pdp10 References: Subject: Re: PDP10 Assembly Language learning books?
