Intoduction
===========

!AS is a simple assembler. It is designed to be used with the desktop
development environment supplied with Desktop C, as Desktop C doesn't
include an assembler. This assembler was at the beginning a backend to
another compiler and does therefore not contain all the glorious commands in
Acorn's assembler. The most obvious omissions are macros and debug
informations. I have included the source in the distribution to compensate
this: If you want it, add it. 

!AS generates aof files, that contain type-2 relocations, so some old
linkers might not be able to link them. There should not be any problem if
the linker can handle aof files of version 1.50 or later.
