The responses to my request for a 68k disassembler were
quite helpful.  Several pointed me to the one in the
comp.sources.unix archive.  This one did far more than I
wanted and simplifying it was far more work than I wanted.

One gentleman actually mailed me the entire source to a
68k machine language monitor which he had written in
68k assembler.

Also, I found a very general, simple disasm written in
C in the Fred Fish disk collection for the Amiga.  Disk
numner 27 contains a disassembler which is quite nice
indeed for some purposes.  It was extremely easy to port
and does a fine job all around.  It is structured as
a generic routine which can be passed an address.  It then
disassembles the instruction at that address, placing the
results in a string.  All I had to provide was a starting
address and a trivial routine to provide extension words.
Sometimes the simplest solution is best, and in this case,
I could not have imagined getting a disassembler running
so easily.  BTW, this code was written by Bill Rogers of
New Zealand.  The Fred Fish disk collection is available
at a number of archives including uxe.cso.uiuc.edu.

Thanks!
