QUIP is a modification of the DEC Floating Point Assembler to enable it to handle LMODE as well as PMODE instructions. All of the floating point handlers have been removed, and in their place have been substituted handlers for LINC code, ring buffer handlers and nopause routines. Because both the LMODE and PMODE symbol tables are core resident and because of the symbol table search algorithm used, operation is up to four times faster than the DIAL Assembler.
