The use of minicomputers as subsystem components with minimum hardware configurations has led to the need for software development tools on a large-scale "host" computer. Such a package is being developed for the Honeywell 600/6000 series computers to provide a FORTRAN compiler, assembler, simulator, and debug capability. A FORTRAN cross compiler system is described which accepts enhanced ANSI-standard FORTRAN and produces assembly-level source code for the target computer, while allowing initial algorithm checkout to be performed directly on the host computer. An integrated assembler-simulator-debug package is briefly described which will allow simulation of a target computer program with full debug control at both the FORTRAN source and assembly level.
