Short: Version 1.8 - A symbolic disassembler/debugger
Author: D.M.Alderson (contactable at above address)
Uploader: bill@twilite.demon.co.uk
Type: dev/debug
* ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *
Introduction
============
Disect is a very powerful combined disassembler/debugger program,
which has been designed to be easy to use. Its power is achieved at the
expense of memory: the minimum requirement is 1Mb; for larger projects, 2Mb
will be required. The programmer neither encourages nor condones its use to
assist in illegal duplication of copyright software. Disect can be used for
two main purposes: development of software; and the gaining of knowledge
(hacking can be very educational).
The debugger allows an executable file, a disk boot-block, a
binary file, or an area of memory to be loaded and created as a Process. It
is even possible to grab an existing memory-resident Process. A Process's
instructions can be executed individually, or the Process can be activated,
with or without breakpoints installed. System exceptions can be trapped
before they crash the machine, and program symbols can be read from execut-
able files.
The disassembler allows a loaded program to be commented, have
blank lines inserted, and have it's numbers and addresses replaced with
constant or program symbols. All the symbols of Release 3 of the system
include files are available to the disassembler. A program which has been
dissected in this way can then be saved as two source files: a program file,
and a support file. The support file will contain EQUs for all required
constant symbols. System constant symbols can be EQUs (grouped by the SI file
where they live), or alternatively the support file can INCLUDE all required
SI files. Disect data files can be saved, to be reloaded later: 'hold on to
your hacks'!
Disect requires Release 2 of the Amiga operating system; it also
requires the ASL library, and GadTools library.
If you've paid your shareware fee then you'll have the full
version. Otherwise, the copy you've got is (hopefully) only a demo. This
has a few differences: you cannot disassemble to file; you cannot extract
program symbols from executable files; auto trace mode is not available.
In addition, you will not have all of the system symbol data files. If this
is so, and since, as I don't doubt, you'll be impressed by this program, then
don't hesitate in registering today, by sending your name and full address
(and a cheque/postal order for £20) to the address which you'll find at the
end of this file. As well as receiving the full version, you'll also be en-
titled to technical support (by mail) if required. If you like this program,
it's well worth the money... this will encourage further versions, which will
only get even more powerful... imagine!
