ResEdit CODE Editor/Viewer Keywords: ResEdit 2.1 2.1.1 Code Disassembly Disassembler Viewer Editor RSSC HEXA The file “CODE editor for ResEdit 2.1” contains a ResEdit 2.1 (or later) RSSC resource that adds a disassembly viewer to ResEdit to handle CODE and code-like resources. This allows you to view code resources as assembly code instead of “raw” hex. When added to ResEdit version 2.1.1 or later, the CODE editor can also operate concurrently with the basic HEXA editor, providing editing and searching capabilities as well. The disassembly code is annotated with the module names extracted from the MacsBug strings in the code. Navigation facilities are provided to allow viewing related pieces of code. Special formatting may be applied to the disassembly for embedded data that cannot normally be distinguished from actual code. There are also facilities to allow you to answer the question “who references this location?”. Release history: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ver 2.14 (current release) 1. Added RMAP for 'AINI' code resource type. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ver 2.13 1. Fixed bug in DRVR handling where searches did not use the module info properly resulting in displays of negative offsets. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ver 2.12 1. DRVRs (DAs are DRVRs) are now “known” to the CODE editor and formatted appropriately. 2. Jump Table (CODE,0) entries are hilighted with a rectangle “button” that delineates each entry. The button may be clicked to load in the referenced segment exactly like inter-segment references. 3. Some "minor" bugs were fixed (including a window refresh bug I bet no one has yet detected) and the code "hardended" against a bus error condition that could possibly (and legally?!) occur. 4. A bug involving the interaction of the reference arrow and formatting was fixed. This one I consider not so minor as the others. 5. Yet another algorithm (this is my fourth!) to fix problems involving the check to make sure the window is consistent with the screen(s). You can get your window where you can't move it or resize it when you move the preferences from one system to another and the two systems have different monitor configurations or sizes. The sanity check is done to revert to the default settings if this happens. It is the algorithm for this check that I have trouble getting right. Maybe this time. If not, and this problem happens to you, just delete the 'ilrP' resource from the ResEdit preferences. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ver 2.9 1. A new “Goodies” menu item called “Window”. it allows you to set the CODE editor prefereces to remember the window size and/or position. Previously these couldn't be controlled and the previous window size and position were always used. This could lead to “confusion” when dealing with multiple windows. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ver 2.6 1. A number of bugs fixed. 2. New “Goodies” menu which replaces the Marker menu that contains three submenus, one of which is the replaced Marker menu. See items (3) and (4) for the new features in the Goodies submenus. 3. A Traps submenu to allow searching for all traps or particular traps with the same trap number. New trap “buttons” become active when the mouse is placed over them. 4. A “search for references” submenu to allow you to answer the question: “Who references this location?". You can now click on an offset or address and the submenu will show the reference locations. The references can be limited to local references within the current segment being displayed, or ALL the references in the program. A persistent arrow can be displayed showing a current reference from the submenu. The arrow is removed by clicking in the window. This is the biggest enhancement of this release! 5. New inter-segment (Jump Table) “buttons” to load in referenced code segments. Thus addresses of the form “CODE,n+$xxxx” become clickable buttons. 6. The Print commend in the File menu is now supported for priting both selections and the entire resource. Printing selections is similar to the copy to clipboard operation (see next item). 7. You can copy the text lines into the clipboard by selecting the hex. The lines associated with the selection are copied as type TEXT. You can then copy them into something else to manipulate them (?). This is NOT a new feature, but since everyone keeps asking for someway to get at the displayed stuff I thought I put it here just in case you don't read the doc. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Please read “CODE Editor Doc” (MS Word 4 or MacWrite II) for full details. Also, the simplest way to install the CODE editor is to copy all its resources into the ResEdit Preferences file in the System Folder. You should start with a “clean” copy of ResEdit 2.1.1.
