Pennington— The Name in Software Engineering Automation

The following examples show how you can use Pennington's XTRAN software engineering meta-tool to automate virtually any software engineering activity.

XTRAN Examples Menu


* Using XTRAN to Analyze Computer Languages

* Assemblers

* HP (Digital, Compaq) MACRO-11 assembler
