# A2osX Macro Assembler (0.94)
## Description
Multi-CPU macro assembler based on S-C MASM 3.0 dialect
Supported CPUs:
+ 6502
+ 65C02
+ 65R02
+ 65816
+ Z80
+ SWEET16
Table-driven, add your favorite CPU creating a new CPU asm.xxxx file.
## Difference with S-C MASM 3.0
+ Symbols are case sensitive
+ No .AC support
+ PC and global addresses are 32 bits
+ Local / Private labels are 16 bits range and from .1 to .255

| Code | Description | Compatibility | Status | Syntax | Comment |
|-|-|-|-|-|-|
