   This sucks... a long time ago, someone posted a photo of their father's handwritten listing of 6502 code. The listing had like 5 columns for: Label, Address, Instruction, Encoding, and Comment. It was a standard 8.5x11" sheet. Aaaand I can't find the photo for the life of me to try and make a template.
