Floco II is a load-and-go type assembly for use with the IBM 704 calculator. It is a succeesor to the original Floco system developed in 1956 and described in Los Alamos report T-1-139. During the loading operation all data, remarks, and instructions are assigned core memory space by the assembly and placed in memory in forms acceptable to the 704. This operation represents a single-pass loading and assembly of what one might call the If subject The resulting program is therefore ready for immediate execution as soon as the loading is completed. Some information mostly data, is generated during the execution of the object program. For this the assembly merely assigns space. Also, in the nomnal case, one part of the object code is actually executed-the loading process is interrupted-before the rest of the is loaded and the main execution begun. Many variations on this general theme of alternating between loading and execution are possible. (auth)
