[comp.sys.ibm.pc] IBM-PC/MS-DOS Disassembler

cleeland@rex.cs.tulane.edu (Chris Cleeland) (09/23/89)

I would have consulted the IBM-PC archives BEFORE posting this question,
but I don't know where they are.  I am trying to find a disassembler for
the MS-DOS world, preferably the 80286 (or whatever the PS/2 Model 25 has
as its "brain").  Preferably, this would either be PD or Shareware, but
the enduser of this product may be pursuaded to spend the $$ on a
commercial product.

Any suggestions?  It's got to produce fairly readable code, as the end-user
is not an Assembly programmer -- at least not on the PC.

E-mail first, unless you think there is enough interest on the net.
I will summarize if I get enough response.

There's a terrific product called "Sourcer" from V Communications.  Alas, I
don't know their address or phone #.  It does excellent disassembly, with
comments (!) on things it can discern (like DOS calls).  You will have to have
a reasonable handle on assembler, but reading it is a lot easier than
writing it.  Sourcer's output is terrific.  It is a commercial product,
so I'm afraid it will cost you, but I don't think it's exorbitant.

Good luck.
