The assembler may not be powerful enough, but any sort of a
disassembler is great to have, a wonderful addition to the Channel F
"toolchain" that we're creating here... Great :) it's always good to
see assemblers and things go GPL so nuts like us can adapt them for
their own purposes.

Good to hear... I was worried that the support for 6502-ish addressing
modes and such would be quite a pain for trying to implement the F8,
which is such a (lets face it) weird instruction set.

Nice =) why not replace DASM's parser entirely with one that works for
both typical DASM fare and F8 stuff? Then we could give that code back
to Andrew Davie or whomever and DASM could have a nicer, newer,
more-extensible parser?
Great work though, guys... keep it up =) you're making me feel lazy =)
