Yes it does:

	int main(argc, argv)
	int achar **argv;
	{
		int foo;
		;		/* end declarations to get frame allocated */
	#asm
	; Offsets are relative to sp so they are only easy to use on x86's
	; for x >= 3.
		mov	ax,_main.argc[sp]
		mov	bx,_main.argv[sp]
		mov	cx,_main.foo[sp]
		mov	dx,1
		...
	#endasm
	}

It doesn't use "the" unix assembler.

No.  It only supports pure tiny and small models.
