Carsten Sorensen e895832b2b Initial revision: imported RGBDS source code
The code comes from the RGBDS source and documentation zip files found
on this website:

http://www.otakunozoku.com/1999/08/01/rednex-gameboy-development-system/

The same website reports:

	"Best of all, it’s free! That’s right! Free! The executables
	are free to use, either for personal hobby use, or full blown
	commercial productions — I know of at least a dozen commercial
	games you can purchase that are written with RGBDS — and the
	source code is free to modify.

	"The only thing I ask is that you do not charge for either
	distributing the executables or source code, and any derivative
	works you give credit to the original authors of the tools.
	That means you have to say “Thanks” to the original authors
	SurfSmurf and Otaku."

<P>DB defines a list of bytes that will be stored in the final image. Ideal for tables and text.<BR>
<BR>
<TABLE BORDER=0 BGCOLOR="Black" CELLPADDING=8 WIDTH="50%">

<TD><FONT COLOR="#00FF00">
<PRE>DB 1,2,3,4,"This is a string"</PRE>
</FONT></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<P>Alternatively you can use <B>DW</B> to store a list of words. Strings are not allowed as arguments to DW.
<P>You can also use DB and DW without arguments. This works exactly like "DS 1" and "DS 2" respectively. Consequently DB and
DW can be used in a BSS/HRAM/VRAM section.
