                     14: .I As
                     15: assembles the named files, or the standard input if no file name is specified.
                     16: The options are:
                     17: .TP
                     18: .BI -d n
                     19: Specifies the number of bytes
                     20: .I n
                     21: (1, 2, or 4) to be assembled for offsets
                     22: which involve forward or external references, and which have sizes unspecified
                     23: in the assembly language.
                     24: Default is 
                     25: .BR -d4 .
                     26: .TP
                     27: .B -L
                     28: Save defined labels that begin with
                     29: .LR L ,
                     30: which are normally discarded
                     31: to save space in the resultant symbol table.
                     32: The compilers generate such temporary labels.
                     33: .TP
                     34: .B -V
                     35: Use virtual memory for intermediate storage, rather than a temporary file.
                     36: .TP
                     37: .B -W
                     38: Do not complain about errors.

                     40: .B -J
                     41: Use long branches to resolve jumps when byte-displacement branches are
                     42: insufficient.  This must be used when a compiler-generated assembly contains
                     43: branches of more than 32K bytes.
                     44: .TP
                     45: .B -R
                     46: Make initialized data segments read-only, by concatenating them to
                     47: the text segments.
                     48: This obviates the need to run editor scripts on assembly
                     49: code to make initialized data read-only and shared.
                     50: .TP
                     51: .B -t
                     52: Specifies a directory to receive the temporary file, other than
                     53: the default

                     58: .I obj.
                     59: Default is

                     62: All undefined symbols in the assembly
                     63: are treated as global.
