Big Brother II allows a program written in modified assembler
language to be assembled in one pass and checked for errors.
The program is then loaded automatically into the allotted
section of core where it is executed automatically. Upon
completion of the program control is transferred to Big Brother
for debugging, editing or tape punching. The language is
very similar to PAL III with a few formatting changes. It is at
least 10 times faster than the normal assembly procedures.
This program is essentially the first step toward a totally complete
compiler and is very important when time is a factor.
Big Brother is self-starting once the RIM has been loaded and
has options for high or low speed input of ASCII tapes.
