Those disks are so old that you had better do a full format before looking
at them!

If you can find the disks, I will put then next to the DOC's  given before.

Actually AFAIK the 6502 was the next CPU designed by the folks that did the
6800.

I put your sleuth next to it's DOC's given before. Thanks!

If you liked sleuth so much, if it were not for your intense MS/INTEL
dislike, I have a dissembler for x86 that blows any other dissembler that
you would have liked.

It actually is an emulator that simulates executing the instructions thus
determining on it's own what is data and what is code. Very good!!! And the
only way to do an dissembler right.

But I purchased the version that does not do 32 bit binaries, I was not
aware that it did not do them. I got busy and never purchased the better
version. By that time programs had gotten so complex that only the hackers
used that dissembler before generating even better dissemblers. (Ever wonder
how the groups competed with each other delivering cracks so fast?).
