+These files are extra utility type scripts that can be used for various
+purposes.
+
+as
+
+This is a sort of front-end script that makes lwasm look approximately like
+gnu as which is useful for using lwasm as a backend to gcc. You will
+probably need to edit it to make it work fully. Simply put this in place
+of whatever gcc6809 installed for "as" (in the "m6809/bin" folder in
+"--prefix") after editing it to point to the real location of the "lwasm"
+binary.
+
+
+ld
+
+Similar to the "as" script above except for lwlink.
+
+
+ar
+
+Similar to the "as" script above except for lwar.
