- Simple assemblers can be written using the shell, \fIawk\fR, and \fIsed\fR,
- with no C code whatsoever.
- They accept a fairly conventional input
- language, and produce Intel hex output.
- (True binary output would require a C program for the final conversion
- to binary.)
- They run quite slowly, their input language is restrictive and contrived,
- and error checking is almost totally absent,
- but they are quick and easy to write and change.
