"Write a program to output the assembly (with labels, comments, etc)

"still loading from disk?).... their ROMs plus labels and comments
"doesn't constitute a crime, does it?
But when one uses this program, one is copying the ROMs. Does the software
license from Atari (is there one?) governing the system software allow
making copies for one's personal use? If it does, then this program should
be legal. If not, well, forget it.
