- I began to develop this tool 8 years ago and added more and more
- features every year according to my own needs. I use it very often
- to look into the buffers or structures which are accessed by my
- programs. I think it can be usefull for other programmers, too.
-
- OMon is a monitor, which displays memory and and system lists. Its
- main purpose is to easily find and display structures, but it also
- can be used to disassemble programs or modify memory and files.
- OMon needs OS 2+.
-
- Some features:
-
- - Input of addresses is not necessary in most cases, because structures
- and lists are found by their names or name abbreviations respectively.
- - Apart from common structures like tasks, windows, libraries etc.
- a couple of unusual structures can be accessed, e.g. Locale, Catalog,
- DataType, MonitorSpec, ConUnit, TDUPublicUnit...
- - Pointer (APTR, BPTR) within structures can be used to jump to the
- addresses they point to.
- - Information about the offsets of about 35 structures is built in and
- can easily be accessed. That's why I named this piece of software OMon
- (Offset Monitor).
- - External help files like includes, LVOs etc. can be loaded additionally
- in order to get information about offsets, constants etc.
- - Memory or programs can be disassemled (68000 code only)
- - Built in 'memcheck' function prevents access to illegal or dangerous
- memory areas. You may switch it off if needed.
- - Very fast search function (Boyre-Moore)
- - Can be made resident
- - Has been coded in assembly. It's fast and small!
