The standard installation procedure creates and installs the 'ase'
script in a bin-directory.  Ordinarily the 'ase' script did not exist
at all unless ASE was installed, but this was annoying for those who
develop/test from the source-dir without building/installing.  Thus a
'fake' ase script has been included in ase/bin.

Is there a reason why you noticed/need this?

Best regards
Ask
