           _A_s activates the Ridge instruction assembler.  _A_s takes a
           source input file and assembles it into a relocatable object
           file. If no source file is specified, the standard input
           device is used for input. If an input file is named, it must
           end with the ....ssss or ....SSSS extension.

           The default name of the output object file is the same as
           the input file, except with a ....oooo extension replacing the ....ssss.
           If input is read from the standard input device, output will
           be directed to standard output. The case of the ....oooo extension
           matches that of the ....ssss extension.

           The following flags may be specified in any order:

           ----nnnn   specifies that upper- and lowercase characters not be
                distinguished (that they be considered the same) when
                comparing symbol names.   By default, upper- and
                lowercase characters are considered distinct, or
                different.

           ----llll _l_i_s_t_f_i_l_e
                The source file with line numbers, the corresponding
                hexadecimal object code, and a cross reference of
                symbol names is written to _l_i_s_t_f_i_l_e.  By default, no
                such listing is produced.

           ----oooo _o_b_j_f_i_l_e
                Output of assembly is put in _o_b_j_f_i_l_e.  By default, the
                output file name is formed by removing the ....ssss suffix,
                if there is one, from the input file name and appending
                a ....oooo suffix.
