BBC Micro - assemblers - info needed

Hi all,
    I've just downloaded three assemblers from the ROM archive at
http://bbc.nvg.org . Catch is, none of them include manuals. I've got copies
of:
    VASM65 v2.0E by Vida Rebus
    ASM 1.10 by SYSTEM (claims to be the "ASM 6502 Macro assembler V1.10",
"Copyright (C) 1984 SYSTEM"). Contains text strings like "Press play", so
may be a tape->ROM conversion.
    ROMAS 3.02 by TBK Associates (full copyright string = "ROMAS 3.02
(C)1985 TBK Associates - S.C."

    Has anyone here got any documentation for these assemblers? I'd like to
get at least one of them to assemble *something*. Perhaps a "Hello World"
program?
    Also, Vasm outputs Intel Hex files from what I can gather - does anyone
here have an Intel Hex -> Binary converter for the BBC Micro?
    Finally, does anyone know how some discs were formatted so they were
compatible with 40-track and 80-track disc drives?

Thanks.
