The THOR-Software Licence (v2, 24th June 1998)
This License applies to the computer programs known as "The Hunk Processor",
or short "Hunk". The "Program", below, refers to such program. The
"Archive" refers to the package of distribution, as prepared by the author
of the Program, Thomas Richter. Each licensee is addressed as "you".
The Program and the data in the archive are freely distributable
under the restrictions stated below, but are also Copyright (c)
Thomas Richter.
Distribution of the Program, the Archive and the data in the Archive by a
commercial organization without written permission from the author to any
third party is prohibited if any payment is made in connection with such
distribution, whether directly (as in payment for a copy of the Program) or
indirectly (as in payment for some service related to the Program, or
payment for some product or service that includes a copy of the Program
"without charge"; these are only examples, and not an exhaustive enumeration
of prohibited activities).
However, the following methods of distribution
involving payment shall not in and of themselves be a violation of this
restriction:
(i) Posting the Program on a public access information storage and
retrieval service for which a fee is received for retrieving information
(such as an on-line service), provided that the fee is not
content-dependent (i.e., the fee would be the same for retrieving the same
volume of information consisting of random data).
(ii) Distributing the Program on a CD-ROM, provided that
a) the Archive is reproduced entirely and verbatim on such CD-ROM, including
especially this licence agreement;
b) the CD-ROM is made available to the public for a nominal fee only,
c) a copy of the CD is made available to the author for free except for
shipment costs, and
d) provided further that all information on such CD-ROM is redistributable
for non-commercial purposes without charge.
Redistribution of a modified version of the Archive, the Program or the
contents of the Archive is prohibited in any way, by any organization,
regardless whether commercial or non-commercial. Everything must be kept
together, in original and unmodified form.
Limitations.
THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED TO YOU "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY. THERE IS NO
WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. THE ENTIRE
RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD
THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY
SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THIS LICENCE, YOU MUST DELETE THE PROGRAM, THE ARCHIVE
AND ALL DATA OF THIS ARCHIVE FROM YOUR STORAGE SYSTEM. YOU ACCEPT THIS
LICENCE BY USING OR REDISTRIBUTING THE PROGRAM.

The "Hunk Processor" is a tool for editing the hunk structure of binary
AmigaDOS load files (not object codes that must be linked afterwards, but
complete executable binaries).
Functions:
Add and remove hunks, as well as relocation entries.
Merge hunks to shorten programs without "crunching".
Code optimizer to remove unnecessary jumps.
Rexx interface for automatic operation.
The "Hunk Processor" is a quiet old program I wrote years ago, so the GUI
looks probably a bit "outdated" - but this is a tool, not a piece
of artwork. I mostly use it to patch bugs in existing programs, together
with a standard debugging tool.
The plus of the "Hunk Processor" is that it keeps the relocation data after
loading an executable, so after patching it the "Hunk Processor" can re-
create a loadable program; the ARexx interface can be used to automatize
this procedure or to simplify parts of it.
"Hunk" comes with a - very simple though - build-in language for automatized
optimization of executables, and some examples of these "external Hunk
OPtimizers", or "hoppers" for short.
Extras:
- A Rexx program that prints out all relocation data.
- A Rexx program for automatic replacement of the
relocation hunks with the more efficient Reloc32Short
hunks.
- A lot of external "Hunk Optimizers", i.e. "hop" files.

The program is freeware, but the guide is not! It's priced $10, to be sent to
my address:
Thomas Richter
Rühmkorffstraße 10 A
12209 Berlin
The guide contains the complete syntax of the .hop files, the available
ARexx commands, a tutorial how to use this hunk and the complete description
of all functions. I guess $10 is really not overpriced for the amount of
work I invested in this program and the guide.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Changes made in 2.15:
Fixed a problem with one of the memory copy operations. It used
overlapping domains which are not officially supported by the Os.
Fixed.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Changes made in 2.14:
Added more ARexx commands. More in the guide.
