I remember DCP16 and DCP24 under OS/8, which I used some years ago
to disassemble PDP8-binarys.
Very efficient tools, which didn't do the job automatically, but
they used tables with symbols, comments and directives how to
interprete different parts of the binary: code, tables, strings,
variables and so on.
Interesting, efficient, great fun. :-)
