This response, more than any other, demonstrates the problem with the
RosAsm disassembler -- it's great at disassembling programs that the
RosAsm development team has already seen. They can put in all kinds of
special case code to handle those situations that they've seen and they
understand. The problem is, the disassembler falls apart on code
they've never looked at. And given that there are *far* more programs
that they've not seen than they've seen, well, you get the idea.

"Send me the DLL." demonstrates the "toy" quality of this program. It
can't handle cases that the RosAsm team hasn't seen, so every time it
breaks, you have to send a copy of the code (if that's even legal or
possible) so the RosAsm team can hack up the disassembler even more.
Worse, the more hacking they do, the more likely it becomes that they
break stuff that they had working already. All these problems could be
solved if Rene would just swallow his pride and admit that adding an
interactive feature, that allows the user to control how the
disassembler converts the code and data, is the best way to make the
RosAsm disassembler a useful tool.
