A disassembler also comes with Orca/M.   It's interactive
and lets you declare data regions of different types, set labels,
and save the output in the assembler format.

While on the subject, what are people's opinions of Orca?
It seems pretty complete, comes with a nice shell, and so on,
but the assembler is slow, and the editor hard to use.
How does it compare with Merlin?  (I got Orca mostly becase
it came on a 3 1/2 disk.)  For that matter, what's a good
editor for the Apple (public domain, shared, or even for money)?
Is there one configurable enough to behave like vi or emacs?
