Its actually an intel-like syntax, not AT&T.  It's a 16-bit assembler
which knows about 32-bit opcodes, handles a single source file and builds
an EXE file directly (no .obj) or a binary fragment (for inclusion in
other code).  Used for writing the stub for V2, and some other applications
in development.  It allows everything needed to build DJGPP apps to be
distributed freely (unlike GO32, which required TCC or BCC to build).
