Hi,

for many years I was certain that Atmel Inc won't
allow a redistribution of it's tools independently 
from their own software portal. Turns out, I was wrong. 
Deep inside the Atmel studio installation I found 
a file called license.rtf that basically told me: 
yes you can, if you obey the terms and restrictions.
As far as I can tell, they allow the assembler and 
the include files to be redistributed unmodified and
require that the license is kept unchanged.Fair enough,
the GPL goes only a few steps further.

To make it clear: The Atmel Assembler is not free software 
and it is not part of amforth. For easy usage I put it on 
the sourceforge download portal in a ready-to-use directory 
structure. Just download the tgz file and unpack it inside 
the amforth base directory.

Comments, feedbacks etc welcome, as usual

Matthias
