[Coco] CCASM

[Robert Hermanek]

Thanks for the link Robert.  To answer Gene's question, no, the fie is 
an actual win32 executable.  Copy it into a folder, use it as command 
line compiler, no installation necessary.  I'm not an ML expert enough 
to know if there is a "best" assembler, but this one seems pretty rock 
solid to me.
