- Short: Use favorite ASCII editor for HEX data V1.14
- Author: stoecker@rcs.urz.tu-dresden.de (Dirk Stoecker)
- Uploader: stoecker@rcs.urz.tu-dresden.de (Dirk Stoecker)
- Version: 1.14
- Type: util/cli
- Kurz: Programm, um HEX-Daten mit ASCII Editor zu editieren
-
- This program converts data (for example program code) into the hexadecimal
- data system. This data could be edited with your favorite ASCII text
- editor. After that you can convert the data back to their old style. So you
- do not need a special hexadecimal editor and you will also be able to
- delete, insert parts of the file and things like that. Most hexadecimal
- editors only allow to change given data byte for byte.
-
- Be sure you know what you are doing! To insert some data into program code
- most time crashes the program, because the internal addresses are now
- illegal. But the ability to delete data is useful for removing start code
- from modules, pictures or text.
-
- BinHex needs OS 37 (2.0) or later OS versions!
-
- USAGE:
- BinHex BIN/A,HEX/A,MAKEBIN/S,ONLYDATA/S,ROWS/N,ASMDATA/S,CDATA/S,
- REV=REVERSED/S,SIZE/N
- BIN give filename for original data file
- HEX give filename for hexadecimal data
- MAKEBIN set program to convert HEX to BIN (else BIN to HEX)
- ONLYDATA add no ASCII output and no position info to hex data file
- ROWS give number of rows in one line (1 row = 4 byte)
- ASMDATA creates a field of ASM DC.L lines (not convertable back to bin).
- CDATA creates a ULONG data[] = { ... } fiels (not convertable back).
- REVERSED converts HEX format, where bytes of 16 bytes groups are in
- reverse order (at the moment only in HEX->BIN mode)
- SIZE 1) for ASMDATA and CDATA (1 = Byte, 2 = Word, 4 = Longword)
- 2) for REVERSED : gives size of REVERSED data (default = 16)
-
- The options ASMDATA and CDATA create an output useable in an assembler or
- C compiler. If you choose SIZE 2 or 4 and the file does not end at WORD or
- LONG boundaries, at the end zeros are added till the boundary.
-
- To make it impossible to overwrite binary data if not wanted use every time
- one of the BIN or HEX keywords, but they are not needed!. «BinHex A B» is
- same as «BinHex A HEX B», but the second is saver.
-
- hexadecimal data format:
- In the hexadecimal file the data is interpreted from begin of line to next
- tab stop (\t, $09). If there is no tab stop in the line it is done from
- begin of line to next return (\n, $0A). All other parts and spaces are
- ignored!
- If there is a \ in the data part all following characters to the next
- tab stop (or return) are not converted. They are taken like given (good
- for inserting readable text).
-
- example 1:
- BIN data in RAM:A Hello World!
- call BinHEX RAM:A HEX RAM:B ONLYDATA
- HEX data in RAM:B 48656C6C6F20576F726C6421
-
- example 2:
- HEX data in RAM:B 4865 6C6c 6f20\World!
- call BinHEX RAM:A HEX RAM:B MAKEBIN
- BIN data in RAM:A Hello World!
-
- Please report me bugs, comments, suggestions and problems. If possible
- write a little mail if you use the program sometimes. If there are some
- Enforcer hits or other problems report them as good as possible.
-
- Do not forget BinHex including source is Public Domain! I hope some more
- programmers follow the PD/Freeware idea. Shareware is good, but why pay
- for example 20$ for a very little utility?
