I experienced problems when uudecoding disasmbl.tos, too. But as I noticed,
that the program has been posted by someone on BITNET, I examined the file
more closely. And this is, what I've found:
1. Some lines are short of a few bytes.
-> Fill those lines with trailing blanks until they line up with
all the other lines.
2. There are a lot of tildes ('~' == 0x7e) in the file.
Tilde is not a valid character in an uuencoded file. But I happened to
remember a posting by someone on the net who found out, that these tildes
started out as pointers ('^' == 0x5e).
-> Change all tildes (0x7e) to pointers (0x5e).
Next: Now uudecode that modified file, then unarc disasmbl.arc to get
disasmbl.tos. The program is really nice, the author even left
labels in the object. How I did notice that?
Well I disassembled disasmbl.tos with itself and was surprised to see,
that all the major routines and data areas were given nice descriptive
labels.
Now it would be really nice, if it could add all the missing comments :-)

Shoot that #$%@ BITNET-hosts!
