        ehem.   Well, gas is actually....    drum roll....    "as"

        So, now... the question is... is this an openSUSE thing?  Does everyone else 
call it gas, and suse calls it  ...  as.   Of course the assembler is called 
(man as) the Portable Assembler... so I suppose they could have called the 
executable   "pas"  well...  pas, gas, or as....   the whole thing is really 
starting to sound funny now...   seems like a brain fart after all.  Anyway, 
I'm happily experimenting with "as" and thinking I should just stick with 
nasm.   :-}
