This is somewhat off of what you did Rick but it is similar (IMO). We had 4 computers 2 mod 30's that ran DOS and 2 mod 50's that ran MFT (this was in the early 70's).between the 30's we had (one) 2311 for a res pack.In order to do a sysgen on the DOS system I created a macro library from the DOS system and used the MFT assembler to create the stage 2 (long story if you want me to go into it).The sysgen really flew on MFT and the stage 1 was done probably 20 minutes. I took the "punched" output and read it in on DOS and sit back and let it run. I was working 12 hour shifts at the time and the damn stage 2 was still running when I went home. It continued to run for a total of 36 hours(!). I do not think the 30's ever saw so much cpu activity as they were basically used for printing tapes. Ed

The Assembler had about 200K of storage to work with.
