Talk:VAX MACRO

Hey all you Macro-32/64 bit heads out there... I wouldn't have ventured to place this stub article in on VAX Macro if I didn't have such warm, nostalgic memories of it. But it's been 11 years since I last coded in Macro-32 (wow, has it been that long?) and some of what I've written may be a little "off." I think having been an ADVID developer who used Macro-32 almost exclusively (with several offerings in the VMS Freeware CD) gives me some entitlement to having taken a stab at this composition. (What is Wikipedia without an article on Macro-32, I wondered???!!!) But I'll admit writing IN Macro-32 was easier for me than writing ABOUT it.

Maybe someone else a bit more estute on the origins and actual processor support can embelish this more. Brian Schenkenberger, this is your oppurtunity to shine, VAXman...! PerlJunkie (C. Olive)

Rename (move) to macro32

Isn't/wasn't the official language name "Macro 32"? Jeh (talk) 01:22, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

That's what I would have guessed (I think the PDP-11 macro assembler was MACRO-11), but, apparently, not, at least as of February 1979 - VAX-11 MACRO Language Manual. Guy Harris (talk) 23:51, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
