+dis (statically tracing 6502 disassembler)
+
+dis creates XASM/MADS-compatible assembly code from a memory dump or an
+executable. dis statically traces execution paths starting from code
+entry points to mark which memory locations contain code. All other
+memory is treated as data. dis traces through JMP, JSR and BXX branch
+instructions. It stops at RTS, RTI and illegal instructions.
+
+dis automatically determines code entry points when disassembling Atari
+XEX/SAP files and Commodore 64 PRG files.
+
+The .dop files mentioned in the documentation are installed to
+"/usr/share/dis".
