CP/M Applications

• FUNK00: tool to change keyboard layout
• SLF80037: something like an autoexec.bat

It looks like that some files are just core dumps and there is garbage inside them.
For preservation's sake, I suggest to add a quick build script that re-assembles this code and matches it against the original known one.
You can reuse the build container for ceda-rom-disassembly in the pipeline, in order to avoid accidentally changing the binary while adding our comments.

Then, for next time (just an idea): rebuild these tools removing the useless garbage, and possibly translate them in English

These look like the strings in the DDT for disassembled opcodes. Is this a core dump of the original executable?

[giuliof]

Yes. That string note can be removed, since it is dirty memory like all the other unreachable code

1. Removed useless comment
2. Added pipeline

Take a look, in the meantime I add some more disassemblies and a README to gather other applications already publishes/disassembled by others.

Approved. Will do this by tomorrow.

That's a good idea. We can create another folder with cleaned platform-specific tools and include them in a custom CP/M disk image.
Regarding other tools, like DDT, STAT, PIP, ..., their source code can be found online, since they are standard CP/M utilities:
http://www.retroarchive.org/cpm/archive/unofficial/source.html. I think we can include them as is.
