+dasm (cross assembler for 6502 and other 8-bit CPUs)
+
+DASM is versatile macro assembler with support for several 8-bit
+microprocessors including MOS 6502 & 6507; Motorola 6803, 68705, and
+68HC11; Hitachi HD6303 (extended Motorola 6801) and Fairchild F8.
+
+DASM also includes platform support for the Atari 2600, Atari 7800,
+and Fairchild Channel F game consoles.
+
+Support files are installed to /usr/share/dasm/machines; usual
+practice is to copy them to your project directory, or use
+e.g. -I/usr/share/dasm/machines/atari2600 to set the include path.
+
+Also provided is "ftohex", which converts an output file in one of
+the three formats to an Intel hex format suitable for many intelligent
+prom programmers (e.g. GTEK).
