That was from Professer Bud Pass, who was the master of machine code 
IMO, the copy
I have is original, as he sold the source code, you had to assemble it 
and make it work.

Written in os9 level 1 version 1.00.00 asm complete with its 5 digit 
labels. It looked pretty
easy to adapt it to the later nemonics, so I contacted  Bud and asked 
his permission to
see if I could bring it up to date, and got a firm yes with a big smiley.

So I first brought it up to the later nemonics, then when Chet Simpson 
spelled out what
the HD6309E could do, I added that, so it was a full level 2 
disassembler for nitros9 stuff
for me. And what a disser it was, the only disser we ever had that could 
give you src code
that when re-assembled, had the same crc as the original. Xero mistakes.

We have others that are less tomfoolery to use, but while their output 
ran usually ran like
the original, the CRC was different.

Anybody who took Buds classes at the U. of Georgia was truly being 
taught by a master.
