I'm looking for a program which will take an executable file and produce
the equivalent assembly language mnemonics of it, running on a Sun 3.
Does anyone know of such a beast?  Please respond directly to me as I
don't usually read this newsgroup.

Thanks (in hopeful anticipation),

[[ In further conversation with Mr. Kerchen, he has told me that he knows
all about "adb" and it is not suitable for his task.  What follows is
(with his permission) a more precise description of what he is after.

What I am looking for is something which will take an executable binary
and completely disassemble it into its equivalent assembly language.  No
flashy interface, no other features, just a program which translates an
entire executable into its equivalent assembly language.  adb is a
"stupid" translator, meaning that one must tell it where to begin, how
much to translate, etc.  I want something which is smart enough to know
where the text segment of the program begins and ends (which really isn't
difficult at all) and then just translates that information from start to
finish.
