The CBM assembler package *does* support the "<" and ">" options, if
what you mean is a way to specify the high or low byte of a symbolic address
as an 8-bit operand.  On the whole, the CBM assembler package is satisfactory
(for the price - mine cost $20.00), but the documentation is pretty wretched;
nowhere does it *say* that the "<" and ">" can be used to specify high
and low byte of a symbolic address, for instance.  The examples of code
are incomplete and contain some incomprehensible symbols.  Some of the
features for saving parts of programs do not work as advertised.  The
editor seems solidly based on the kernal one, but has extensions like
automatic line numbering and renumbering, and a way to search for a 
designated string.  Basically a pretty good system, for the price.
(At least, it was when the price was about $20.)
