That listing is very misleading. The author is Robin Hilliard, who
heavily modified code from djgpp's "edebug" program (the "J Delorie"
probably refers to me, but I *never* use "J" as my first name, and I
have no knowledge of this package aside from just reading the
copyright notice).
Also, the disassembler in edebug is nowhere near smart enough to be
used as a general-purpose disassembly program, as it has no way of
properly tagging labels and deciding what's code and what's data.
A note to the pedants: This is an example of a violation of the GNU
GPL. When you modify someone else's code, you *MUST* retain all
existing copyright notices, which was not done in this package. Just
because a program is released under the GPL does *NOT* mean that the
author has relinquished copyright to anyone.
