Yes. It's usually referred to in VMS circles as just "MACRO" or
"VAX MACRO" if there's any ambiguity. I've written about two
programs in it ever (one time-conversion routine to extract Unix-
style "seconds-since-1970" from VMS's "200ns-intervals-since-Sept-
17th-1758", and one VAX-BI device driver).

Is this an example of VAX/VMS assembly language? And if so, what would a good reference be to learn it?
DEC used to put out a bunch of titles, and I know some people
had to buy textbooks for CS classes. I found one or two titles
(and ordered one for $5!) from Amazon's used section, searching
for the keyword "VAX".
