TL;DR: This paper describes a system which allows programmers to construct and debug assembly language programs in an on-line conversational manner, using a graphic display with light pen and keyboard, to reduce by a factor of between two and four the time required to prepare, write and debug new programs.
Abstract: This paper describes a system which allows programmers to construct and debug assembly language programs in an on-line conversational manner, using a graphic display with light pen and keyboard. The amount of programs necessary to realize these functions is about 8000 machine instructions. The expected gain with this system is that it can reduce by a factor of between two and four the time required to prepare, write and debug new programs.
