I found it was easy to hack for my purposes, so I just went ahead and
released my "hacked" version to fill the gap in the xa suite (i.e., a
companion disassembler). I intend that as a compliment on your easy to
understand and modify code :)

That's an intriguing idea. Although my first and biggest goal is to get
65816 support working for orthogonality, that sounds quite useful and I'll
add that to my to-do-after list.
