        !            35: .I As
        !            36: assembles the named files, or the standard input if no file name is specified.
        !            37: The available flags are:
        !            38: .TP
        !            39: .B \-a
        !            40: Specifies the alignment of procedures and data blocks.
        !            41: It is given as a power of two; thus an alignment of 3
        !            42: causes alignment on an eight byte boundary.
        !            43: The default is
        !            44: .B \-a2.
        !            45: .TP
        !            46: .B \-d
        !            47: Specifies the number of bytes to be assembled for offsets
        !            48: which involve forward or external references, and which have sizes unspecified
        !            49: in the assembly language.
        !            50: The default is 
        !            51: .B \-d4.
        !            52: .TP
        !            53: .B \-L
        !            54: Save defined labels beginning with a `L', which are normally discarded
        !            55: to save space in the resultant symbol table.
        !            56: The compilers generate such temporary labels.
        !            57: .TP
        !            58: .B \-V
        !            59: Use virtual memory for some intermediate storage,
        !            60: rather than a temporary file.
        !            61: .TP
        !            62: .B \-W
        !            63: Do not complain about errors.
        !            64: .TP
        !            65: .B \-J
        !            66: Use long branches to resolve jumps when byte-displacement branches are
        !            67: insufficient.  This must be used when a compiler-generated assembly contains
        !            68: branches of more than 32k bytes.
        !            69: .TP
        !            70: .B \-R
        !            71: Make initialized data segments read-only, by concatenating them to
        !            72: the text segments.
        !            73: This obviates the need to run editor scripts on assembly
        !            74: code to make initialized data read-only and shared.
        !            75: .TP
        !            76: .B \-t
        !            77: Specifies a directory to receive the temporary file, other than
        !            78: the default /tmp.
        !            79: .PP
        !            80: All undefined symbols in the assembly
        !            81: are treated as global.
        !            82: .PP
        !            83: The output of the assembly is left on the file
