Is there some method to bridge he gap? marco11 to output binary files, a linker to convert object files to binary ones, or simh to accept object files.</div><div><br></div><div>For the PiDP-11 users, they could prooblbly work from a listing where a hard-coded base address is given, but others might want to try something that is too long to want to key it in.</div><div><br></div><div>If this is already possible, some documentation on the process would be useful.
