As far as 80x86 assemblers go, I'm familiar with the syntax of MASM and 
workalikes (Turbo Assembler, A86, etc.) - guess it shows my Messy-Dos
background :)

Deciding that directives like dw (data word), and db (data byte) might
not exist on the Gnu assembler (sure didn't on the old 6502 and 6800
systems I used to play with) I tried feeding it a db "This is a test"

some thing to the extent of "db illegfal instruction" came up.  Now, I could
simply ask for the data directives, and whatever else I could think of but


1.  Has anybody modified gas to accept the MASM type directives?
2.  Where would I find documentation on the gnu assembler syntax?

Thanks in advance.
