[comp.sys.apple2] Disassemblers

bruce@archive.rtp.dg.com (Bruce Kahn) (06/28/90)

  
  A while back I saw an add for Orca/Disassembler.  I never saw any after
it and havent heard about it around here or at the local BCS groups.  Can 
anyone provide some feedback on it and its performance.  Is it worth
getting or should I wait for something better?  
  I used to have Disasm (dates me Im sure) and still have Sourcer but
I find them cumbersome to use.  Does anyone know of any other disassemblers
besides these 3?  Any caveats or kudos??

 I have the 8 bit version of Orca/M and it includes the Disassembler. The
orca package is great but I haven't used the Disassembler enough to give
you a good evaluation.

I did a review of the ORCA/Disassembler for GS+.  It's a really GREAT
product.  I met with Paul Elseth (Author) at AppleFest and he said
there will soon be a new version with enhancements... such as the
ability to disassemble code in resource forks and a bug fix here and
there.  There weren't many bugs in the first version, either!

I did notice that ACEShutDown was ACEBootInit and also that
SetSCB was SetSBC (Confused the heck out of me!  Why is it setting
for a subtract with carry? :-)

I really like the ORCA/Disassembler and plan to get the upgrade as
soon as I hear it's available.
