and ARBEC, Inc., Austin, Texas COBRA is a macro assembler for PDP-12s having at least 16K of core and the EAE. COBRA runs under PS/8 and produces binary output compatible with ASBLDR. The user may maintain system macro text in a file called 5Y5LIB and may also keep other text libraries. Other COBRA facilities are: qualified symbols, text parameterization, LMODE/PMODE assembly, and a DIAL simulation mode. A library of PS/8 linkage macros is included.

COBRA is configured for a system with a Centronics line printer, but is largely compatible with teletype output systems.

Minimum Hardware: EAE and disk recommended

Restrictions: Known defect in symbol table routine (symbol type not tested properly). Source text does not include form feed codes.
