      NAME
           as - Bull-SPS9 relocatable assembler

      SYNTAX
           as [-n] [-l listfile] [-o objfile] file-name.S

      DESCRIPTION
           As activates the Bull-SPS9 instruction assembler.  As takes
           a source input file and assembles it into a relocatable
           object file. If no source file is specified, the standard
           input device is used for input. If an input file is named,
           it must end with the .s or .S extension.

           The default name of the output object file is the same as
           the input file, except with a .o extension replacing the .s.
           If input is read from the standard input device, output will
           be directed to standard output. The case of the .o extension
           matches that of the .s extension.

           The following flags may be specified in any order:

           -n   specifies that upper- and lowercase characters not be
                distinguished (that they be considered the same) when
                comparing symbol names.   By default, upper- and
                lowercase characters are considered distinct, or
                different.

           -l listfile
                The source file with line numbers, the corresponding
                hexadecimal object code, and a cross reference of
                symbol names is written to listfile.  By default, no
                such listing is produced.

           -o objfile
                Output of assembly is put in objfile.  By default, the
                output file name is formed by removing the .s suffix,
                if there is one, from the input file name and appending
                a .o suffix.
