It's possible in principle,I suppose, but AS was designed for assembling GCC
compiled C/C++ code and is thus in other respects rather unhelpful (just quoting
the FAQ here).
TASM,MASM and A86 are more suited for standalone assembler programming ( as you
probably already know).
However if it's the ATT syntax you love, there's a standalone 80x86 freeware
assembler called gema, whose output is compatible with the .o format of DJGPP,
I believe.It lies somewhere in ftp://x2ftp.oulu.fi/pub/msdos/programming
(I forget where, but if you want, mail me and I'll look it up).
