I’ve added lessons on two relative branch operands that have become fundamental tools for “baseless” programs: Branch Relative on Condition and Branch Relative on Condition Long. You can try out these instructions in VisibleZ as well. Upload the new Codes directory for some sample object code programs, or build your own.
Along with these lessons, I cleaned up some links on the assembler page and added links to all the lessons in three formats (PDF, DOCX, HTM).
I’m working on an assembler book that will organize and combine the information you can find on the site. I hope to complete it over the next few months. If you have special requests for topics you would like me to include, email me your suggestions. I’d like to know the instructions you’re using that aren’t represented here.
“I’ve added lessons … Branch Relative on Condition and Branch Relative on Condition Long.”
These?
… with the .htm and .docx versions yet to be added? The links for those:

Love your site! Definitely “best of breed” on the web!
Thanks for the kind words, David. I’ve already learned a lot from your linkedin Mainframe Assembler Professionals group. There’s a lot of serious experience and good adivce to be found there! Thanks for hosting it.
Those are the correct links for BRC and BRCL. I’ll work on creating some videos for them, too.
Also, the corresponding “video” links don’t seem to be up yet (at least as of 4-Dec-2015)

Thanks again. I’ve repaired both links now.
