<p><code>as</code> for the Z80 supports some additional directives for
compatibility with other assemblers.
</p>
<p>These are the additional directives in <code>as</code> for the Z80:

<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code><code>.assume ADL = <var>expression</var></code></code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002eassume-directive_002c-Z80"></a>
<p>Set ADL status for eZ80. Non-zero value enable compilation in ADL mode else
used Z80 mode. ADL and Z80 mode produces incompatible object code. Mixing
both of them within one binary may lead problems with disassembler.
