I wouldn't want my program to depend on others. The input wouldn't be a
text file with source but a text file that has data for the routines
stored, labels that have been assigned to them, comments added through
the browser, and anything else you might need.

That is really my goal, to make it easier to sort through lots of
uncommented source. Thanks for the help, I think it will be fairly easy
to write, but maybe it will turn into a monster. If so, I probably will
rely on a disassembler.
