- That is unfortunately true: The file is empty.
- But when looking into the tar archive of GNU gas, I didn't find a
- man page either. So there is none. There is however a texinfo file for
- inclusion into GNU EMACS help.
- The empty file, however must be there, to make the 'make' lucky.

- The info file is called gas-doc.tar.Z and should be available from anywhere
- you can get GNU sources.
