Abstract
Future programming environments are expected to offer the user a variety of programming languages. Especially the co-operation of high- and low-level language translators is desirable in order to combine the benefits of abstraction with those of machine-orientation. We outline methods for merging these two kinds of languages. As a case study, we have chosen to embed an Assembler into the existing MODULA-2/68K programming environment. We present an overview of the Assembler implementation, and sketch the programming rules by a sample demonstration program.
