Project ARIES. User's Manuals for ARIAN II and Associated Subsystems.
Abstract
Project ARIES is a research and development effort whose objective is to investigate and analyze as well as develop an interactive assembly language software development technique and system. Tests comparing the development capability and speed of conventional assembly language programming techniques (cross assembly, resident assembly via a 'conventional' operating system, and cross compilation) and an early implementation of the proposed technique (software development system) have shown that this technique of interactive assembly language software development promises to provide a factor of from 3 to 10 decrease in program development time. Project ARIES, which was started by the author while in graduate school, has resulted in the creation of ARIAN II, a floppy disk-based operating and software development system for interactive assembly language software development. It is an integrated tool designed to work specifically with the ARIES-I hardware configuration, and its 34 resident commands give the user the abilities to create and manipulate text and binary files, to assemble the text of an assemble language source program, to execute and breakpoint such a program with a number of debugging aids to communicate with an external computer via a modem, and to examine and modify the microcomputer's memory directly.
