There are a couple of assemblers that accept some kind of "-L"-option to
produce a listing. As two of the basic principles of UNIX are
- use high level languages and
- let a program do ONE thing right rather than two things half-right
usually assemblers don't list!

If You're interested in only selected examples, use "adb" to look at
them.
Generally, You can use "adb" to get the start addresses of the opcodes:
	1,$?ai
then extract just these start addresses and build an adb-script to print
them using e.g.
	<start>,<count>?b
This would list them in octal.
