Hello.

Maybe the bugs are fixed in the latest DA65 release... From what I'm
experiencing, the DA65 disassembler doesn't capture all data and puts them
out in the disassembly source code.

For example, there would be some initialization code that is later
overwritten by data. DA65 would note that other code would write to this
area and insert labels, etc. The labels would break up the initialization
code. Worse, some bytes are missing near where the break up occurred.

Another example would be areas containing heavy data and DA65 would try to
make some sense out of them. I know the DA65 disassembler isn't an
intelligent one, and would try to intermix code snippets and .byte
statements. Problem is, some code and byte statements are missing.

Unfortunately, I really can't use DA65 until some problems like this are
fixed. I need to have confidence in using DA65, otherwise, I'd spend quite
a bit of time, fixing the disassembled source code.

Thanks,
