I want a cooperating "intelligent" disassembler/assembler packet which has a fair ability to disassemble from memory and DOS files into a "source" file which I can change a bit (replace "dh0:tomte" with "NICEassign:tomte" i.e.) and then compile back into working code again. I heard that RESOURCE should be able to do this for me. Am I wrong? Othervise I'm interested in someones opinion from using it. Is it working fine, is it fairly bugfree and _is_ it worth to buy. (And from where -- at the right price...) Thanks in advance! ----- M}rten Norman email: marten@kuling.uu.se

It will automatically disassemble a program (any program from disk tracks, blocks, files, memory, etc) and leave you with very little work to do. It will also do all the jump table instructions from Manx C. You can get it to do a dummy save and it will tell you of illeagle code, data access, etc which may be unassembled code. It will handle asscii strings in the file. It has Base Register support so you can tell it A4 is pointing to a certain area of the file and any references from A4 will then have labels put in them. You can generally on small files 80-100K have a source code that will reassemble in about 30 minutes. It has 68020/30 support but puts out the new Motorola syntax. The 68000 version will output the old style. It is available from The Puzzle Factory P.O Box 986 Venetra, OR 97487 USA or Glen McDiarmid 28 Marginson Street Ipswich Queensland Australia 4305 Hope this helps -- *** John Veldthuis, NZAmigaUG. johnv@tower.actrix.gen.nz ***

ReSource is an excellent program. Although I don't have time to do a review I can say they I have used it for quite some time and it does what you want. It will disassemble executables/binaries/memory/disktracks. Glen McDiarmid 28 Marginson St Ipswich QLD 4305 Australia (07) 812 2963 In the USA:- The Puzzle Factory PO Box 986 Veneta OR 97487 (503) 935 3709 Credit card facilities are available and I beleive the price is $195 Australian. There is a very early version on one of the FIsh disks (a guess 236). I don't work for/get money from/haven't met Glen the Author. > >Thanks in advance! > >----- > >M}rten Norman email: marten@kuling.uu.se -- Chris Hames Person to blame for DirWork(1.3 RSN), VMK, FSDirs, etc And soon for PC-Task? ins760z@monu4.cc.monash.edu.au

There is ( or at least was ! ) a "demo" version of resource floating around
somewhere, from memory, it does everything the real version does, but wont
let you save any files at all. If you get hold of that, you could figure out
if it is anygood for yourself !!
