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