+mads (cross assembler for 6502, targetting the Atari 8-bit)
+
+MADS is oriented toward users of QA, XASM, and FA. The syntax is borrowed
+from QA, some macro commands and syntax come from XASM, and SpartaDOS X
+(SDX) syntax is inherited from FA. Additional characters are allowed in
+label names. Also added are support for the 65816 CPU, macros, procedures,
+splitting across virtual memory banks, and nested label names.
+
+/usr/doc/mads-$VERSION/examples has a lot of sample code that's well
+worth looking at. The DOS/Windows package of MADS ships with various
+executables in examples/compression. These are not included in the
+package. "Squash", "deflate", and "rle" ship with source, so you can
+compile these yourself if you need them. "Exomizer", "lz4", and "pucrunch"
+exist on SlackBuilds.org, in the system/ category.
+
+Syntax highlighting for the vim and scite editors is included.
