Description:

This is a reference manual for FAIL, a fast, one-pass assembler for PDP-10 and PDP-6 machine language. FAIL statements, pseudo-operations, macros, and conditional assembly features are described. Although FAIL uses substantially more main memory than MACRO-10, it assembles typical programs about five time faster. FAIL assembles the entire Stanford time-sharing operating system (two million characters) in less than four minutes of CPU time on a KA-10 processor. FAIL permits an ALGOL-type block structure which provides a way of localizing the usage of some symbols to certain parts of the program, such that the same symbol name can be used to mean different things in different blocks.
