                     30: .SH DESCRIPTION
                     31: .I As
                     32: assembles the named files, or the standard input if no file name is specified.
                     33: The available flags are:
                     34: .TP
                     35: .B \-d
                     36: Specifies the number of bytes to be assembled for offsets
                     37: which involve forward or external references, and which have sizes unspecified
                     38: in the assembly language.
                     39: The default is 
                     40: .B \-d4.
                     41: .TP
                     42: .B \-L
                     43: Save defined labels beginning with a `L', which are normally discarded
                     44: to save space in the resultant symbol table.
                     45: The compilers generate such temporary labels.
                     46: .TP
                     47: .B \-V
                     48: Use virtual memory for some intermediate storage,
                     49: rather than a temporary file.
                     50: .TP
                     51: .B \-W
                     52: Do not complain about errors.
                     53: .TP
                     54: .B \-J
                     55: Use long branches to resolve jumps when byte-displacement branches are
                     56: insufficient.  This must be used when a compiler-generated assembly contains
                     57: branches of more than 32k bytes.
                     58: .TP
                     59: .B \-R
                     60: Make initialized data segments read-only, by concatenating them to
                     61: the text segments.
                     62: This obviates the need to run editor scripts on assembly
                     63: code to make initialized data read-only and shared.
                     64: .TP
                     65: .B \-t
                     66: Specifies a directory to receive the temporary file, other than
                     67: the default /tmp.
                     68: .PP
                     69: All undefined symbols in the assembly
                     70: are treated as global.
                     71: .PP
                     72: The output of the assembly is left on the file
                     73: .I objfile;
                     74: if that is omitted,
