Well, you can extract the Assembler from AVR Studio4 as well.
This is "only" 100 MB, but I don't know, if it is still
available somewhere. That's what I use.

*Some versions* of amForth can be assembled with avra as well,
however, this is not for the faint of heart. We have contacted
the avra maintainers, but it seems the only way forward is to
really fix it ourselves. Noone has so far picked this up.

amForth cannot be assembled with as-avr (from the gcc-avr) because
it uses different syntax, unfortunately.

Yes, this is a weak point of amForth, help is welcome.
I don't know gavrasm, so I have to look at it first.

Cheers,
