That's right, I did.  I even did a test run and made a mini-assembler.

Features and benefits:
 This assembler correctly assembles instructions of the form "ld r,r" by
 printing their opcodes on the screen.  The instructions are tokenised
 and syntax checked on entry and a special token storage system makes
 the assembly easier and thus faster.

Bugs:
 The assembler is compiled to load in at 16384 so it is incompatible with
 programs which use the system heap.

 The assembler is incompatible with procedures whose names begin with the
 letter L.
