    Information Control Systems is leasing its 4K version of extended FORTRAN II and ALICS II programming systems. These systems bring to the 4K PDP-8 family a capability
    that is not available with existing software.
    Extended FORTRAN II programs compile into ALICS II assembly code in a single pass. ALICS II assembles this FORTRAN output or directly coded ALICS in a single pass. It produces relocatable binary object programs.
    A linking loader automatically loads and links the main program and all subroutines. These programs and subroutines may be coded in ALICS or FORTRAN. Standard subroutines may be added from the user or ICS Library.
    The system has been especially useful for real-time applications due to the building block structure and the compatibility between the machine level ALICS language and the high level FORTRAN language. The system is equally effective for scientific programming and small scale data processing. Extract: ALICS II
    ALICS  II Assembler
    1.     Relocatable - Binary object programs are produced which can be relocated without reassembling. A linking loader automatically establishes linkages between your program and subroutines and fits them into the available core.
    2.     Automatic Paging - Allows the programmer to directly reference all of core without considering page boundaries.
    3.     Single Pass Assembly
    4.     Powerful Diagnostics-To help you find errors quickly.
    5.     Easily Learned - People with  no previous language experience will find ALICS easy to master.
