Subject: BBC file formats

Hi All,

Feeling nostalgic and adventurous, I decided to go poking around the
code for some of my old favourite games, but I'm afraid I've been
stumped by the file formats.

The game I'm looking at is AcornSoft  Monsters, and I have a copy on
my linux box in .IMG format (as well as a physical copy on cassette).
I used BBC Explorer  to open the disk and extract two files - MONSTRS
and MONST-M, but now I'm not quite sure what I'm looking at. MONST-M
clearly contains the logic to run the game, but I'm unsure what format
this is in - 6502 machine code, some form of compressed BASIC?

Is anyone aware of a way to disassemble or decode these files?

Regards,
James
