+zilasm is an assembler that targets the Z-Machine. It is the default
+assembler used by zilc.
+
+General syntax
+==============
+
+Files processed by zilasm consist of instructions and directives, one
+per line.
+
+Comments begin with ; and continue until end of line. Comments are
+ignored by the assembler.
+
+Instructions
+------------
+
+Instruction Number Meaning
+----------- ------ ----------------------------------------------------
+PRINTI 178 Prints a string.
+QUIT 186 Terminates program execution.
+
+Directives
+----------
+
+zilasm uses directives which are instructions to the assembler itself.
+To distinguish them from instructions, directives begin with a period.
+
+Directive Meaning
+--------- -------------------------------------------------------------
+.END Signifies the end of the program and terminates assembly.
+ End-of-file (EOF) is also treated as the end of the program.
+
+.FUNCT Defines a function, which is a group of instructions. A
+ function name, separated from the directive by space or tab,
+ is also required. The function name may be optionally
+ followed by a comma and include comma-separated argument
+ list. A blank line, the .END directive or end-of-file (EOF)
+ all indicate the end of the function.
