The assembler was already chosen, probably by Steve Hain or Gary Drescher. I believe it was CROSS. It annoyed me that I would get phase errors if I edited during the first pass which was like 10 or 15 minutes at night so I wrote a one-pass assembler in MacLisp, but it was slower to finish than the first pass of CROSS so I translated it to Logo and Hal said to put it on the utilities disk. I can't remember who added .output and .input but Logo had had them before the Apple II, I think 11Logo had it.
