+rmac (cross assembler for 6502 and 68000)
+
+RMAC began its life as MADMAC. It was initially written at Atari
+Corporation by programmers who needed a high performance assembler for
+their work. Then, more than 20 years later, because there was still a
+need for such an assembler and what was available wasn't up to
+expectations, Subqmod and eventually Reboot continued work on the
+freely released source, adding Jaguar extensions and fixing bugs. And
+of course recently 6502 support was added back!
+
+RMAC targets the Atari Jaguar, ST, and 800/XL/XE 8-bit systems. The
+file "ATARI.S" mentioned in the documentation is installed to
+"/usr/share/rmac/atari.s". To use it in a project, either copy it to
+the project directory, or give -i/usr/share/rmac as an argument to rmac.
