I am interested in knowing how Sourcer compares with Dis*Doc from RJ Swantek.
I have not worked with either one, and am not likely to really want to pay
the prices... but may break down and buy one next time I need it.
I have used ASMGEN, which is more or less successful at simple disassembly
tasks, but a real pain to use.  CodeView is generally more useful for just
hacking on an executable.
