  Alcyon.  It's moderately quick on the my handmade assembly, I trust it more
than Sozobon jas, and it backends the Alcyon C compiler.  I've not used any
other assemblers for the ST (MadMac scared me off by warning me that it would
not generate code that was as good as the Alcyon assember - and I'm _very_
keen on compact binaries.)  If you include other machines, then Macro-11 is
what God himself intended an assembler to be....
