ChkExe v2.62 (c) 1998-1999 Jindrich Kubec Latest version can be found at http://www.asw.cz/~kubecj This program is provided 'as is', no warranty will be taken for any damage caused by it or by any use of it. The whole package is placed under the GNU Public License, for further information on redistribution see the included file "GPL.TXT". Description: ------------ Atari executable checker/decompiler. Based on Preston Crow's binload utility. Better command line switches, better disassembler and gap filing. Disassembler is only very simple - single pass, no data recognition. Usage: ------ ChkExe [options] sourcefile [destfile] sourcefile is Atari DOS exe file. destfile is optional output file with changed blocks. gaps is for changing the size of maximum 'gap' fill. It's the destination of two blocks under which blocks will be 'glued' together by zeroes. silent outputs only OK/errors split creates also blkXXXX.blk files with only one block inside d creates also disassembly of each block History: -------- Date, Author, Version 6/2/1995, crow, 1.00 Initial public release 6/4/1995, crow, 2.00 Create fixed version of the file 6/7/1995, crow, 2.10 Use separate functions Merge overlapping and adjacent blocks 6/9/1995, cmwagner, 2.20 Ported to MS-DOS machines, should compile and work under MS-DOS,compile in COMPACT model. 11/11/1995, cmwagner, 2.30 Added d switch, which allow disassembly of blocks to stdout disassemble_block() function added, outins() function added, instable[] added 11/16/1995, cmwagner, 2.40 Fixed bogus operands on output when operands extend beyond end of block, just puts out a bogus instruction symbol now (???). 9/24/1998, kubecj, 2.50 Modularized, added symbol resolving in disassembler Added -silent switch for batch processing Added gap filling Rewritten in CPP under DJGPP only, no portability 7/7/1999, kubecj, 2.60 Added file blocks splitting 8/20/1999, kubecj, 2.61 Fixed signedness bug concerning branches :( 10/10/1999, kubecj, 2.62 Changed switches processing. To Do: ------ Maybe better disassembler. Known Bugs: ----------- None. Compiling Tools: ---------------- For scripts: Perl. URL: http://www.perl.com For PC executables: DJGPP. Sources were written/tested on GCC/Intel only. There should be only slight problems to port it to different architectures/environments. Makefile should need only slight changes.
