I can't recommend it as a great assembler, but it's functional and you can get
it for $8 -- Commodore's Assembler 64.  It lets you use labels, constants, 
combine source files during assembly, create macros, etc.  It's disk-based.
Unfortunately, it has no concept of local variables (nice for defining 
subroutines and macros), and it comes in about 4 pieces which you load 
separately before you run them (editor, assembler, monitor, loader).  I'd 
say it's worth $8 from Tenex Computer Express (1-800-776-6781).  

I paid $2.95 for Tenex's catalog in B. Dalton's (bookstore), but I'm sure 
you don't need one to order.  I've ordered a third-party disk drive, some 
software, and a modem from them without any hassle.
