Don't most BSD/Linux use gas?  I just checked the man pages for as(1) on
NetBSD and FreeBSD and they both say "AS - the portable GNU assembler".

That's the point of my syntax swapping utility suggestion.  And being able
to use either gives a backup in case we run into a bug/limitation.  Should
be an easy project for some software person who wants to help the project,
but isn't up to writing a major CAD tool.

I think I got freedos to boot inside bochs once.  Ran DIR a couple times,
which exhausted my knowledge of DOS, so I went on to something else.  :-)

"You can even run FreeDOS using a PC emulator written in Java, right in
your web browser!"

Is it just me, or does that sound perverted and scary to anyone else?
