[comp.sys.amiga.tech] Hunk Coding

theorist@walt.cc.utexas.edu (Charles Callaway) (03/21/90)

      I am writing a program in assembly in which I need to take a code
segment(s), data segment(s), and such and combine them into a hunk file
which I can make into an executable.  I would like to have it work without
linking, but that's not necessary.  Does anyone know of a program which
will do this?  I can also read C.  If anyone knows of such a program with
source or a basic algorithm, could you please send it to me?

I wrote a program called 'DumpObj' which you can use as a skeleton for
your hunk-coalescing idea. DumpObj parses object files and displays information
about their structure, much like the utility that comes with Lattice. It's
written in Aztec C, and is on the freebie disk I send out to folks who
send in their shareware check for NewZAP. It's probably on a Fish disk by
now.
