- Dump3a
-
- New version for the S3a with this new features:
-
- - Dump3a takes advantage of the bigger screen and shows 208
- bytes
- - Edit mode can now be accessed by the diamond key
- - The build in calculator now allows decimal input
- - Dump3a has a search function in either hex and ascii mode.
-
-
- Dump3a is a program for viewing and modifying (CAUTION !!!) any
- type of file in either binary and ascii mode. It's provided as an
- .opa file.
-
-
- Installation:
-
- Copy the Dump3a.opa file into any \app directory and install it
- as an application from the system screen.
-
-
- Functions:
-
- The screen is divided into a status line at the top, a dump in
- binary mode and a dump in ascii mode. The status line indicates
- ths bytes shown and the actual position of the cursor.
-
- <left> moves the cursor one byte left
- <right> moves the cursor on byte right
- <up> moves the cursor one line (16 bytes) up
- <down> moves the cursor one line (16 bytes) down
- <page up> moves the cursor one page (208 bytes) up
- <page down> moves the cursor one page (208 bytes) down
- <psion> o asks for a new filename
- <psion> i gives you some information about the file in use
- <psion> e or this is a toggle key for editing the current
- diamond key file. The Edit Mode is indicted by an arrow at
- the left side of either the binary or the ascii
- dump.
- You can toggle between the binary and the ascii
- mode by pressing the <tab> key.
- In ascii mode you can enter all characters
- available on the Series 3a keyboard and also all
- combinations with <ctrl><number> except the
- combination <ctrl><009> (this is the <tab> key).
- Each character is written directly to the file.
- In binary mode you can enter all values in hex-
- code (0-9,A-F). The program waits for two valid
- keystrokes and then writes the character to the
- file. After the first half-byte you can delete
- it pressing the <del> key.
- Pressing the <esc> key terminates the byte
- editing.
- <psion> j asks you for an address to jump to.
- <psion> c pops up a simple hex-calculator. It works in
- RPN-mode. That means that you have to enter
- operations like this
- number >enter> number operator number ...
- Operators can be '+ - * /'.
- *** NEW *** Pressing the number sign (#) as the first sign
- changes the the input from hexadecimal to
- decimal input.
- You can calculate only with integers. Dividing
- an odd number by an even number gives an
- integer.
- A nice feature of the calculator is that
- pressing <psion>j inside the calculator jumps
- directly to the calculated address.
- You can edit the number only with the <del> key.
- *** NEW *** Pressing the monkey tail (@) deletes the input
- line.
- Pressing <psion> j or <esc> terminates the
- calculator.
- <psion> f opens a new screen where you can enter up to 20
- characters to search for. These characters can
- be entered either in hexadecimal or ascii mode.
- In ascii mode you can enter all characters
- available on the Series 3a keyboard and also all
- combinations with <ctrl><number> except the
- combination <ctrl><009> (this is the <tab> key).
- Each character is written directly to the file.
- In binary mode you can enter all values in hex-
- code (0-9,A-F). The program waits for two valid
- keystrokes and then writes the character to the
- file. After the first half-byte you can delete
- it pressing the <del> key.
- Pressing the <esc> key terminates the byte
- editing.
- Pressing <tab> changes between the hexadecimal
- and the ascii input.
- You can move the cursor with the <right> and the
- <left> cursor key and delete characters with the
- <del> or the <shift><del> key.
- The hexadecimal and ascii lines are updated at
- the same time.
- Pressing <enter> starts the search at the
- current cursor position.
- *** NOTE *** The search is case sensitive.
- <psion> g repeats the search with the actual search string
- from the current cursor position.
- <psion> x exits the program.
- <menu> let you enter all the above functions.
-
- WARNING:
- I will take no responsability for the lost of
- any data. I suggest to make a backup-copy of the
- files you will modify.
-
- I hope you enjoy the program. Let me know all bugs and suggestions.
