I don't know if this is the right newsgroup but I am desperate.

I am looking for a good book on how to write an assembler. If you have sample
codes, I appreciate if you can share the codes with me. I need a general idea
how to write such a beast.

I have the "dragon" book. Most compiler books discuss high level compilers.

Thanks in advance.
