Never met Sigma's Meta-Symbol <G>
Okay, the machine level code was limited to basic condition/jump...
But a master of Meta-Symbol (I wasn't such -- not in a trimester college
course) could create macros that would make it structured.
In a way, Meta-Symbol wasn't an assembly language so much as a
language for defining assembly languages (I once wasted a few hours at
work writing out the Meta-Symbol definition file needed to produce
absolute-address 8080 output. Even the native Sigma instruction set had
to be loaded into Meta-Symbol before it could process a file).
