for Tech Assembly System

Replacement for SOAP and SOAP II devloped at Carnegie Tech

Initial version by Smith and Evans under Perlis at Carnegie 1958

"TASS supported an elaborate, but not rococo, mechanism for controlling circumstances when two symbols were (1) identical but required different addresses and (2) different but required identical addresses. Communication between P routines was possible both at assembly and at run time. Language extension through macrodefinitions was supported."
