Introduction

When disassembling a file, alignment can be a problem. Take the following code for example:

0000: c3 04 00                jp 0004h   ; jump to address 0004
0003: 06                                 ; just a byte with value 06
0004: 00                      nop        ; no operation

The disassembled code will look like this:

0000: c3 04 00                jp 0004h   ; jump to address 0004
0003: 06 00                   ld b,00    ; put 00 in register b

This problem is caused by the disassembler itself since it can not distinguish data from code. To disassemble the example correctly the user should restart the disassembly procedure from address 0004 in order to retrieve the nop instruction.
