b' About the Book: Systems Programming\n\nThe book covers material contained in several courses of Curriculum 68 as\ndescribed by the Association of Computing Machimery (ACM). This text is\nself-sufficient in that there are enough details for 370 and PL/I to support the\nrest of material and it will be useful for graduate students as well as\nprofessionals . in addition to discussing the traditional system components of\nassemblers and macros, the book gives special emphasis to important features of\nsystems programming presently not covered in many texts-compilers, the advanced\nproblems of storage allocation, recursion, operating systems, and I/O\nprogramming.
