                             CPOC Assembler (AS86)
                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                              25th January, 1996
    
    INTRODUCTION
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~
    This is the assembler for use with CPOC (release 0.80 or later).
    
    It is not intended to be used as a stand-alone program, but via the
    CPOC front-end program.  It therefore needs the CPOC front-end
    program (part of the "CPOC Starter Pack") to operate.  The "CPOC
    assembler" is provided separately to the "CPOC Starter Pack" for two
    reasons:
      -  Not all users of CPOC may want this part of the system.
      -  We may well want to update one component of the system without
          updating other parts.  The modular nature of CPOC lends itself
          to this approach.
    
    INSTALLATION
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~
    The "CPOC Assembler" comprises of the following files:
    
              AS86.IMG        Linker program
              README.TXT      This file
    
    The AS86.IMG file needs to be installed in the directory that you
    have chosen to hold CPOC program files.  Normally this will be a
    \CPOC\ directory (on any drive).   For more information on
    alternative locations please read the README.TXT file that is
    provided with the CPOC "Starter Pack" (or the on-line help that is
    provided as part of the CPOC front-end program).
    
    Please also check that there is a copy of the CPOCDYL.DYL file
    provided with the CPOC "Starter Pack" in the same directory as the
    AS86.IMG program.   If not, you will get a "Panic 222" message when
    you try and run the assembler from CPOC.
