Does anyone know where I can get a disassembler for a VAX 11
series machine running 4.3BSD? I have looked for the 'dis' utility but
have been unable to turn it up. I believe this is usually provided by the
vendor but am unable to confirm this hypothesis. I would prefer it be able
to handle symbolic values and addresses easily. In other words, I like
what I have seen with using dis on other machines. (Yea, it's not the
best I've seen but it is adequate in this situation.)
I have tried using dbx but it will not display the addresses of the
symbols it uses. For example, dbx will output: calls $1, getobject. This
is what I want but, where is getobject really located (the address).
What would really be nice is for the disassembler to place a label
"getobject:" in the disassembly at the start of the subroutine.
Unless I have missed something ... this utility does not exists
in the comp.sources.unix or comp.sources.misc archive. I have also checked
various anonymous ftp sites with no luck. Are there any locations which
are suggested to check in this situation? Any information is certainly
welcome.
Thank you,
- Steve

Use `adb file' with the command `start,-1?ai'. There is also a command
something like `$>' which will redirect output to a file.
