? 	Does anyone know where I can get a disassembler for a VAX 11
? series machine running 4.3BSD?  I have looked for the 'dis' utility but
? have been unable to turn it up.  I believe this is usually provided by the
? vendor but am unable to confirm this hypothesis.  I would prefer it be able
? to handle symbolic values and addresses easily.  In other words, I like
? what I have seen with using dis on other machines.  (Yea, it's not the
? best I've seen but it is adequate in this situation.)

? 	I have tried using dbx but it will not display the addresses of the
? symbols it uses.  For example, dbx will output: calls $1, getobject.  This 
? is what I want but, where is getobject really located (the address).
? What would really be nice is for the disassembler to place a label
? "getobject:" in the disassembly at the start of the subroutine.

? 	Unless I have missed something ... this utility does not exists 
? in the comp.sources.unix or comp.sources.misc archive.  I have also checked
? various anonymous ftp sites with no luck.  Are there any locations which
? are suggested to check in this situation?  Any information is certainly
? welcome.
? 			Thank you,

Use `adb file' with the command `start,-1?ai'. There is also a command
something like `$>' which will redirect output to a file.
