“…Full-fledged development environments cater to professional programmers instead of students. Other simulators are often most concerned with microprogramming (1,2,6,8,10), or overly complicated, though realistic machines (3,7). None have syntax checking editors built into the system like CASM.…”

This article describes an assembly language simulator specifically designed as a pedagogical tool. This simulator has the richness of a stack, procedure calls, and indirect addressing, but prods students into good programming habits without many of the inherent, frustrating aspects of assembly language programming. This is accomplished by providing a syntax checking editor, a powerful debugger, a limited instruction set, and strict attention to eradicating the typical mistakes that assembly language, and high-level language programmers make.
