Check out ftp.math.niu.edu in pub/msdos/djgpp.stuff/contrib and look for
gasdoc.tar.Z and i386-as.docs.Z.  I know at least one of these is specific
to Interactive Systems Corporations version of unix and it's compiler,
however it's made to be a tutorial of going from a DOS based assembler
(such as TASM or MASM) to a generic unix assembler (such as AS or GAS).  

It won't give GAS specific stuff, but it should give the syntax and such.
For 386 instructions, you should really get a manual on 386's.  Check with
Intel and get their manuals.....  can't expect EVERYTHING to be spoonfed to
you now, can you?  ;->


DJ:  Would it be possible to put these files on omnigate?  I think once
checked with the ISC folx about putting these docs in an archive, and was
pretty much given the ok (hell... I found them using archie on another
site....)   Or maybe just a pointer to niu.....  having these docs in a
better known ftp site would help I would think.
