SOURCE00.003 - The Cancer Virus [Source/Debug Script]

While I was writing this magazine, I decided to disassemble and comment the Cancer virus to brush up on my disassembly skills. Unlike 40Hex Issue 10, which has begun phasing out debug scripts, as they feel that source code is more useful. Although I agree with that theory, we feel that using BOTH the source code, and the debug script to give out to people will suit both those who are experienced, and those who are not.

Well, here it is:
