I recall vividly when turnaround for the cross-assembler (remotely
located) was typically close to 2 days. One of the projects I
did was to write an assembler that built our code locally. And
once the hardware existed, I ported the assembler to run on the
target directly. Cut typical module assembly time to less than 5
minutes. 1973-1975
