The first chapter discusses the concept of macros: its definition, structure, usage, design goals, and the related prior work. This thesis principally concerns my work on OLMP (an On-Line Macro Processor for the Motorola 6800 Microprocessor), which is a macro processor which interacts with the user. It takes Motorola assembler source code and macro definitions as its input; after the appropriate editing and expansions, it outputs the expanded assembler source statements. The functional objectives, the design for implementation of OLMP, the basic macro format, and the macro definition construction are specified in Chapter Two. The software and the hardware environment of OLMP are discussed in the third chapter. The six modules of OLMP are the main spine of the fourth chapter. The comments on future improvement and how to link OLMP with the Motorola 6800 assembler are the major concern of the final chapter.

[pt] Este trabalho apresenta uma ferramenta de suporte à programação literária. Para seu desenvolvimento foi criado um framework de prestação dos serviços básicos requeridos por este tipo de ferramenta. Desenvolvido segundo uma arquitetura que o tornou flexível, via uma linguagem de extensão para definição de macros; eficiente, via um núcleo em C++ otimizado para realizar as operações a nível de caracter; e portável, graças a uma implementação em C/C++ padrão, o framework se mostrou adequado aos objetivos propostos. O desenvolvimento sobre este framework validou as soluções adotadas, resultando em uma ferramenta de ótimo desempenho. / [en] This thesis presents a support tool for literate programming.Its development was preceded by a research of the basic facilites usually required for programs of this class. After that, a framework has been developed to offer those facilites. The framework was developed in standard C++, in such away that would guarantee its portability. Its effciency is due to an optimzed kernel which performs all character-level operations, and a well defined application program interface(API)assures its fexibility.On top of this framework an access layer has been created using a confi- guration language. This layer allows that, through small programs written in the configuration language, a user can adapt the tool for diferent literate programming styles like modular or WWW-enabled documentation.
