System Requirements for A86

A86 requires MS-DOS V2.00 or later.  No BIOS or lower-level calls
are made by A86, so A86 should run on any MS-DOS machine.  Please
let me know if you find this not to be the case.

A86 itself is a small program, and it is fairly flexible about
the memory it uses.  You can assemble with only 40K bytes of
memory beyond the program itself, which in the current version is
about 35K bytes -- a total of 75K bytes beyond the operating
system.  There is no longer any limit on the size of source files
assembled under A86.  The more memory you have, the more capacity
A86 has, in symbol table size and output file size.  If it can,
A86 will use up to 400K bytes of memory.
