You might want to give Prof. Bud Pass's Sleuth a try, but you'll have to 
learn how to run it. Its not a single pass except the last run. I've 
added to its ability by adding the 6309 codes to it, and made it use the 
later, longer word labels and such from os9 level 2's defs.  Bud wrote 
the original before the update for level 1 came out.

Get it from my site in the sig, with Buds blessing. You need to help it 
distinguish between data and executable code in case the file being 
disassembled is mixed, and quite a few are.

But if you get it right, the output code will assemble back to the exact 
same crc. Its slow because you must run it, and build up a table of the 
addresses where it switches from data, like a jump table, to executable 
code as the src file switches back and 4th.
