Abstract
The development environment for microprogramming an implementation (E-Machine) of the Burroughs stack architecture (E-Mode) is discussed with an overview of a supporting hardware organization (the Alpha machine). The set of information-sharing tools in the E-Machine workbench, especially the structured language Ohne, is described and a sample E-Mode operator is used to illustrate several of these tools.
