- A. New Version 6 Features
-
- Instruction set support for all 80x86 processors including the
- new Intel Pentium Pro (also refered to as the P6 or 686).
-
- New virtualization options to load analysis code into memory and
- "virtualize" the segment/offset to any 1MB address. Useful
- for VxDs, Linear code, boot sectors, and EPROM file images.
-
- New "Execute" feature to let a program under analysis run for
- a short period to unpack and/or decrypt itself before
- disassembly. Handles most packing methods including multi-
- encoded PKLITE files (like FORMAT.COM or other DOS files).
-
- Numerous improvements to VxD analysis and output, including
- using VxDjmp and VxDcall macros, OFFSET32 for 32-bit offsets,
- better handling of VxD with huge file segments, better
- relocation processing, and more.

- New local/global index handling equates. Allows conversion of
- indexes like [bp+4] to [bp+YOUR_LABEL_HERE] across the entire
- program or within a specific subroutine or procedure.
-
- Automatic labeling of passed parameters and locals for C code
- with special labels PARAMETER_x, and LOCAL_x.
-
- Display of subroutine parameter name on related PUSH prior to
- subroutine call (with option for numbering parameters with
