This  program  and its source code may be used and copied without charge. It is
donated to the public domain, as were the programs it was derived from.  In  no
way  the  author  can  be  held  responsible  for  any  damage or loss of data,
including claims from other parties, that may be caused by using it.

DASM 1.532M is a MS-DOS version of the once popular CP/M disassembler DASM v1.5,
which in its turn was a variant of RESOURCE  and  ZZSOURCE.  Read  the  comment
header of DASM.ASM for the history of the program. This version can be executed
with an Intel 8086/8088 or compatible CPU with MS-DOS, and can disassemble .COM
files  for the Intel 8086/8088 instruction set, but also for the Intel 8080 and
Zilog Z80 processors.

A manual is not included. The description of DASM  v1.5  (available  in  public
domain) is valid for this program. When the program is running, the 'H' command
provides a summary of the available commands.

Remarks:
- Symbols  starting  with the cvharacter '%' are interpreted as constants. This
  is important for the 8086/8088 version, as it will influence the disassembled
  instructions.
- The program does not support .EXE files.

The package consists of the following files:

ZIEZ80 and ZIEI96 are textfile viewers for CP/M and MS-DOS, respectively.  They
are included as sample programs for demonstration and exercise. The I86 version
is  fully  disassembled,  The  Z80  version  only  partially. Both programs are
written by Bob Ferguson and were donated to public domain.
