# ass.sh: a bad assembler for my VM instruction set
#
# WARNING: this assembler is ASS! That is why I named it that (in addition to
# being short for 'ass'embler). This was purely a quick hack so that I could
# get working on writing my imaginary VM code ASAP. I would be embarassed if I
# had any shame left.
