+  Reading this pseudo variable will give the assembler version according to 
+  the following formula:
+
+        VER_MAJOR*$100 + VER_MINOR*$10 + VER_PATCH
+
+  It may be used to encode the assembler version or check the assembler for
+  special features not available with older versions.

+  Version 2.11.1 of the assembler will return $2B1 as numerical constant when
