I'm looking for a program which will take an executable file and produce the equivalent assembly language mnemonics of it, running on a Sun 3. Does anyone know of such a beast? Please respond directly to me as I don't usually read this newsgroup. Thanks (in hopeful anticipation), Paul Kerchen | kerchen@iris.ucdavis.edu [[ In further conversation with Mr. Kerchen, he has told me that he knows all about "adb" and it is not suitable for his task. What follows is (with his permission) a more precise description of what he is after. --wnl ]] What I am looking for is something which will take an executable binary and completely disassemble it into its equivalent assembly language. No flashy interface, no other features, just a program which translates an entire executable into its equivalent assembly language. adb is a "stupid" translator, meaning that one must tell it where to begin, how much to translate, etc. I want something which is smart enough to know where the text segment of the program begins and ends (which really isn't difficult at all) and then just translates that information from start to finish.
