I was afraid somebody would say that.

I need look no further than the shelf at my right hand for a full set of
Pentium documentation. I do not consider that an adequate substitute for a
document expressing the syntax of all machine instructions of a particular
architecture in the GNU syntax.

The only excuse I can think of for not having such a document is "we're all
so busy we couldn't write it, please use the Intel documentation". Please
don't suggest that we have no need for our own documentmentation, written in
a form familiar to us.

Err, now I feel I wrote the above a little too strongly, but I'm not going to
change it, because it was my initial reaction. Yes, that's *exactly* what I
want.
