AS86 is a lesser-known GNU assembler, which uses the Intel syntax rather than the AT&T syntax more common amongst Unix-based assemblers. Despite being less well known, it is very similar to the more common assemblers in terms of its functionality. It differs in that there is little requirement for so-called "red tape" at the start of a source file, although there is limited support for macros (notably jmp $ fails).
