- Many thanks to the several people who sent me suggestions about a disassembler.
- To summarize, there is a code viewer feature that can be added to ResEdit that
- allows one to look at the code in assembly rather than straight hex. It also
- has other functionality that I am still trying to sort through. VERY nice, BUT
- I haven't figured out a way to just capture as straight text the disassembled
- stuff and paste it in to an inline assembly section in THINK C, sans the info
- regarding the actual offsets, of course. I haven't been able to find ANY way to
- get the assembly out as text; if there is a way, someone please inform me.This
- code viewer for Resedit can be found at ftp.apple.com in (I believe)
- dts/mac/tools/resedit.
- There is also a Shareware utility written called RSC_VIEWER, which is
- available at sumex-aim.stanford.edu in info-mac/demo. It allows one to edit,
- disassemble, assemble, etc. code resources, and edit any resource, as far as I
- know. It seems to be very functional, even if the menus are rather unclear, and
- I was confused at just how to procede several times. This has a shareware fee
- of $35, which would probably be well worth it to someone who likes to edit the
- code resources. I, as a student, can't afford a $35 shareware fee, as low as it
- may seem for a work of this magnitude; maybe this spring when I earn more
- money...
- Mainly I am looking for JUST a disassembler that will allow one to capture the
- disassembled code as text and copy it into THINK C, that's why I can't afford
- RSC_VIEWER; the fee covers much more functionality than I need.
- There is also a disassembler called MacNosy that comes with some commercial
- debugging package. The person who told me about this didn't specify which
- package; I suspect TMON, but I don't know for sure.
-
- THanks again for all the comments and emails, and if someone knows of a (free)
- way to disassemble and capture as text, I would be glad to hear about it ;).
