- .description
- 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!
