[Simh] Fwd: retargetable assembler

[Clem cole]

I've seen a couple. I'll need to go digging in some of the USENIX archives.   Purdue EE had a really nice table driven one, iirc.  There was another from Oz also.    I've forgotten many of the details, but he's right there are a number in the wild. 

Sent from my PDP-7 Running UNIX V0 expect things to be almost but not quite.
