How should I publish?

Well, send it to me uuencoded gzipped by mail,
and I'll put it through the WWW site.
Chris Harris would publish it on his machine, too, but he's on vacation.
If you feel the current WWW site ain't enough,
someone on the list have offered a T1 as a repository...

That's fine !

That, too ! I'd just grab it and mirror it to the main site.

   What Patrick wrote was the skeleton of an "assembler"
that took an s-exp representation for assembly code,
and turned it into source that as86 could assemble.
   What I wrote was the database of 80x86 instructions templates,
so we could write the assembler in Scheme (which is most useful
for dynamic code generation where we cannot use an external assembler).
I still need finish the pattern matcher that will actually use
those templates to either assemble or disassemble code.
