- Chapter 1 Introducing HunkX
-
- HunkX is a small utility written completely in Assembler to
- show the hunkx structure of any segment-loadable file. It has
- been tested with normal Amiga executables, object files,
- libraries, Lattice C linker libraries, all with or without
- debugging or symbol information. Note that the Aztec C linker
- libraries are not supported since they are not standard. All
- the new hunks in KickStart 2.0 are also supported.
-
- Non-programmers won't have a lot of use for HunkX. It display
- technical information that can be useful for programmers only.
