Are there any disassemblers available in the public domain?  The only
programs which I have seen rely on MANUAL recognition of data vs.
code.  Much more useful would be a program that disassembled as data
(DB) any area that wasn't "reachable": e.g., locations which follow a
non-conditional jump but preceed any address referenced by a jump or
call.  This wouldn't be foolproof (because of indirect jumps and
locations referenced by INT vectors) but would be relatively easy to
clean up.

Even without bells and whistles (e.g. ability to label variables, use
of commented macros for DOS function calls and BIOS interrupts) this
would greatly simplify patching programs.  Please post any
suggestions.
