It is gibberish on it&amp;#x27;s own. We don&amp;#x27;t know where in memory that it starts or the places it is referencing in the jumps. If it were ASM source code those jumps would likely contain labels instead of just raw dogging memory locations.&lt;p&gt;The fact that it just so happens to be from COMMAND.COM from MS-DOS 3 is a wonderful bit of detective work, but it doesn&amp;#x27;t make the snippet any less gibberish.</text></comment>
