IBM: Assembly Language Programming

WARNING: If you easily get distracted and go off on tangents then this blog post is not for you. Please browse to another place on the internet and be content.


While visiting my Mom this last week I found one of my Dad's IBM Assembly Language books upon the bookshelf and decided to bring it home for safe keeping and to explore it a bit.

Assembly Language Programming for the IBM Systems 360 and 370 for OS and DOS copyrighted circa 1980 by Michael Kudlick.

Though exposed to assembler in a C.S. class and in an electronic instrumentation class, I seldom think about it anymore. Seeing this book got me to wondering about GNU Assembler. A slightly different looking assembly than IBM's but still interesting. I wonder where this all will end up ...... hmmm. ;)

You were warned, remember?
