Intel 3001 microcode assembler "Cromis"

I was not sure where to ask this. For fun I am trying to build a processor using 1970's vintage intel 3000 series bit slice processor components. Intel provided a microcode assembler called "Cromis" as Fortran source files. The program consisted of "xmas" and "xmap". I have found nothing about this program online and was wondering if anyone has any information about it. Thanks for reading this either way.

Thank you for the information. I was sent here after live chatting with someone somewhere else on the intel website, which I have to say is the most confusing place I have found so far on the internet. I will now follow your links even deeper into the labyrinth.
