Projects in development by third parties include on-board and / or computer-side converters, interpreters, code generators, macro assemblers, or compilers for Fortran, other Basic variants, awk, DCL.

Synertek contracted with a company called Eastern House Software to port their Macro Assembler / Editor ( MAE ) into an ROM . The author of MAE, RAE, and another version sold by Skyles Electric Works was Carl Moser.

From Revision 19, major portions of PRIMOS were written in the languages SPL and Modula-2, the usage of the assembler PMA ( Prime Macro Assembler ), FORTRAN IV and PL / P declined considerably around this time.

A Forth assembler is by nature a macro assembler, so that it is easy to define an alias for registers according to their role in the Forth system : e . g . " datastackpointer " for the register used as a stack pointer.

The program code for the Sinclair Spectrum version was written on an IBM AT-compatible computer using a macro assembler, while the graphics were designed on an Atari ST, then downloaded onto the IBM AT, before being downloaded to the Spectrum and debugged using a specially developed monitor.

Many other operating systems were available including CP / M-68K, Idris, PDOS, HyperFORTH Plus, BOS, TRIPOS, Mirage, and MOSYS . Programming languages available included Pascal, Modula-2, C, FORTRAN77, BASIC, 68000 macro assembler, APL, LISP and Forth.

Underlining this point, macros were used to implement an early virtual machine in SNOBOL4 ( 1967 ), which was written in the SNOBOL Implementation Language ( SIL ), an assembly language for a virtual machine, which was then targeted to physical machines by transpiled to a native assembler via a macro assembler.
28.
It is also possible to use solely the macro processing abilities of an assembler to generate code written in completely different languages, for example, to generate a version of a program in COBOL using a pure macro assembler program containing lines of COBOL code inside assembly time operators instructing the assembler to generate arbitrary code.
29.
It was written in S / 360 Macro Assembler by a team, led by Tony Burbridge, most of whom had worked on PL / I F . Macros were defined to automate common compiler services and to shield the compiler writers from the task of managing real-mode storage, allowing the compiler to be moved easily to other memory models.

The difference is that high-level assemblers, such as HLA, Microsoft Macro Assembler ( MASM ), or Turbo Assembler ( TASM ), on the Intel x86 processor family, also support high-level-language-like statements, such as IF, WHILE, and so on, and fancier data declaration directives, such as classes.
