A72 is a 8086 assembler without bells, whistles, gongs, or macros. It's a bare-bones single-segment symbolic assembler that will take standard Intel-format assembly and turn it into a COM file executable under MS-DOS.

IIRC, it has 8087 and (optional?) 186/286 support. It also includes a simple disassembler. But it lacks some things (e.g. EQU).

As a simple test, I did write a quick Sed script to get it to reassemble PSR Invaders. So it's fairly useful (and can build itself).
