   Re: Writing a disassembler ?

   FFU is For Future Use (or Far From Us).  Yes, x86 opcodes can be   
   complex, as has been pointed out, but I do believe that it is also the   
   most widely used set of processors we have ever seen, so writing a   
   disassembler for the architecture has it's uses.  I've found that the   
   simplest ways of making something work is the best way (I wrote a   
   disassembler in QuickBASIC a long time ago).  Since the hardest part   
   of your problem is recognizing the opcodes, start there and then worry   
   about what to do with your data, how to store it or represent it.  Do   
   what feels right with it, and if that doesn't work, try something   
   else.
