- OVERVIEW
-
- LANVIEW is a program used to analyze, view and edit the
- basic components of a system, including the system memory,
- system interrupts, device drivers, CMOS and installed disk
- drive sectors and file contents of any workstation connected
- to the Local Area Network. LANVIEW will allow you to view
- system elements in HEX, ASCII or disassembled code format.
- Full searching and editing functions are included.
-
- LANVIEW provides an extensive on-line context sensitive
- help function. At any point in the program you may press
- the <F1> key to display help text for the process you are
- currently engaged in.
-
- NOTE: The LV.HLP file must be in the same directory as
- the LV.EXE file.

-
- To undo any change that you have made. Note that
- any values that have been changed are highlighted.
-
- Set Mask/Value (F3)
-
- The mask/value may be set to any hex byte value for
- XOR/Negate or Add/Subtract operations.
-
- XOR/Negate (F7/Shift-F7)
-
- XOR/Negate the selected byte using the mask value.
-
- Add/Subtract (F8/Shift-F8)
-
- Add/subtract the Mask/Value to the highlighted field.
-
- Rotate Left/Right (F9/Shift-F9)
-
- Rotate selected byte left or right.
-
-
- The FILE Menu
-
- The file menu has three options:
-
- Save Edited Object

- the numbers in parenthesis to the right of each
- branch instruction that is displayed on the screen.
- to reverse the flow of control, press (0) to return
- to the previous branch instruction.
-
- The following options are available in the Memory Menu:
-
- DOS System Area
-
- View/Edit the DOS System Area, starting at 0K and
- continuing as much as space as necessary for all
- the information loaded. Information stored here
- includes the BIOS DATA Area, DOS Communication
- Area, IO and DOS code, System File Tables, FCB
- Tables, Disk Buffers, System STACKS (CODE and
