Wow, your package is able to assemble a Z80 processor? ;-)

Seriously, I think you should improve your long description to explain to an 
(unexperienced) user what this package is for.
What can you do with this assembler? 
Why should you install it?
What are the results of the programms (e.g. machine-code) for?
