To bone up on assembly language, Lions's
commentary is exceptionally
helpful in explaining assembly as it is implemented in V6. The manual
itself is really thin
Err, which manual are you referring to there? Not the "UNIX Assembler
Reference Manual":
http://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=V6/usr/doc/as/as
I would assume, but the 'as(I)' page in the UPM?

The UNIX Assembler Reference Manual winds up as 10 printed pages, the
as(I) page is, well, as you put it, 1 page, printed. Both are a bit thin
by my reckoning. :). That said, Lions words about assembly are pretty
few, too. But, he is addressing an aspect that was not addressed in
either of the manual's entries and is very helpful for making the
translation between PDP-11 Macro Assembler and unix as.
