Documentation for DISASM.PW2
----------------------------

Most Model 100/102 disassemblers require that you load the program
into its running location in memory, and then tell the
disassembler what address range to disassemble.  This can be
inconvenient in some instances. If you have a machine language
program already loaded, it may conflict with the program you wish
to disassemble.  Or you may wish to disassemble to a disk drive,
using an operating system (such as CDOS or TS-DOS) which resides
where the program to be disassembled loads. Another example is a
CO program assembled with an ORG of 0 for the purpose of building
a relocating Basic loader.

DISASM.PW2 is a version of DISASM.PW1 which disassembles CO files
in their menu location, eliminating the need to load them to their
running location.  You supply the name of the file, and DISASM.PW2
finds it, calculates the start and end addresses, and disassembles
it in its menu-stored location.  The resulting disassembly is the
same as that from DISASM.PW1.

The disassembly can be directed to any legal device -- with one
major exception: You cannot use DISASM.PW2 to disassemble to a RAM
file.  Well, you can, but the result will be the assembly language
equivalent of gibberish.  This is because the creation of a new
RAM file pushes other files (including the CO file disassembled)
around on the menu;  I haven't (yet) figured out how to make the
disassembler follow a moving target!  So if you need a RAM copy of
the disassembly , load the CO program and use DISASM.PW1.

Modification of the file directory address data in
line 450 appears to be all that's need to make this program
run on the Tandy 200.
