+# ACME
+ Multi-platform cross-assembler for MOS 6502/65C02/6510/65816 CPUs 
+
+ACME is a free cross assembler released under the GNU GPL.
+It can produce code for the following processors: 6502, 6510 (including illegal opcodes), 65c02 and 65816.
+ACME supports the standard assembler stuff like global/local/anonymous labels, offset assembly, conditional assembly and looping assembly. It can include other source files as well as binaries while assembling.
+Calculations can be done in integer or float mode.
+Oh, and it is fast.
+
+Imported from SourceForge SVN repository: https://sourceforge.net/projects/acme-crossass/
