I have been playing around with the demo of Resource (from Fish disk #232).
For those of you who don't know what Resource is, it is a very
"Inteligent" disassembler.
There are many features. Unfortunately, one of the features is very
poor documentation.
I cant figure out how to do the following:
I have a line of code that looks something like this:
MOVE.L A6,$0320(A4)
A4 has been loaded previously.
What I want to do is replace the "$0320" with a symbol, which I have
been able to do. However, I want to replace ALL occurances of
"$0320(A$)" with "Symbol(A4)" in the code.
I have not been able to figure out how to do this.
Any ideas?

Fun, eh?

Look around on local BBSs. There was a version here which had almost
the same docs as is in the booklet of the commercial version.

Go into the <*> Menu, the <Convert xx(A4) EA's> MenuItem, then the
<Specify> SubMenuItem. This will prompt you for the offset of A4 from
ProgStart. This works as long as A4 is set to an address ReSource
can see, ie a BSS or DATA hunk.
If A4 is set to the base of some AllocMem'ed area, you're
out of luck. The best you can do then is set up a couple of macros
to do the substitutions least painfully.
BTW. I got a notice from the PuzzleFactory last week that Version
4.0 was now available. [Send in disk + US$25]

After a more carefull reading of the manual (of sorts) I discovered that there is a command to do exactly what I wanted to do: SPECIAL FUNCTIONS/Convert xx(A4) EA's/: You tell ReSource where A4 is pointing, and it will create either absolute (MOVE.L A6,lbL00876) or relative (MOVE.L A6,lbL00876-DT(A4) ) symbols. You can then change the label to a more meaningful name. ReSource is a real slick product, but learning it is a real pain! I am using the Demo version now. Does anyone know if it is sold via mailorder houses, or do I have to buy it direct from the distributor (and pay list price)? -- "This ain't Rock 'N Roll, | These be my words, not my employer's! this is Genocide!" |Dave Lowrey - Amdahl Corp. - Houston, TX David Bowie - |In Texas: {moray,uhnix1}!starsoft!david "Daimond Dogs" |The World: dwl10@uts.amdahl.com (amdahl!dwl10)
