Company 4xxx range of computers and their OS4000 operating
system. It is strictly an assembler in that the generated
code is relatively predictable but it can be written in a
sufficiently structured manner, with indentation, control
statements, function and procedure calls, to make the
resultant source easy to read and manage. Even with this
visible structure however, it is important to remember that
the assembly of the statement is done left to right.
The British videotext system, Prestel is programmed in
