       Cseg, of course, merely sets the current location counter and
         will happily accept Code and Data, as will /Common/, Aseg,
          and Dseg.  So constants under Aseg/Cseg and uninit'd data
          under Dseg.  L80, can then be asked to locate segments as
          needed.

       M80 .PRN,.REL=.MAC /L /C /R
                    /L = list file
                     /C = generate .CRF for CREF80
                     /R = generate object

        so      A> M80 =Fred /L/R will give FRED.REL and FRED.PRN
        as will A> M80 B:Fred,C:Fred=Fred (but Fred.Prn and Fred.Rel
                        end up on other drives)

       And L80

       A> L80 rel,rel,rel,...,COM/E/N
                       /E = end of processing
                       /N = make .COM
                       /X = make Hex
                       /Y = make symbol table (.SYM)

And all this from memory to boot...
