- write the structure of the binary file in SuperStruct's editor, then activate
- the menu option File-Convert to choose the binary file(s) to convert.
- Then view the results in SuperStruct's editor. SuperStruct can be run as
- a Ole Server. For example, you can embed a SuperStruct object in a word
- processor document or picture.
-
- You can convert more than one binary file at a time. Some examples of using
- SuperStruct would be:
