Is there any program in the Mac world (besides Macsbug) that will
dis-assemble a (PowerPC) application's executable binary code, and
display some semblence of the corresponding PPC machine language code?

Thanks

Dave

MacNosy. I'm not sure how well it works under OSX. See

Try otool.

You can use gdb to disassemble a currently executing program, or otool
-t -V to diassemble a binary executable file.

I take it that "otool" and "gbd" are OSX Linux type features?

They are not, because

- "Linux-type features" is a meaningless statement
- otool doesn't exist on any operating system beside Mac OS X
- "gbd" is probably a typo for "gdb"

What are you really asking here?

Sorry for my imprecision here....I am operating under OS 9, and I had
interpreted "otool" and "gdb" to be calls available to OS X because of
its Unix type lineage...hope this clarifies it.

Under OS 9 your choices are:

Macsbug, CodeWarrior (look for Disassemble in the Project menu) and
MacNosy.
