Short: Very flexible binary 2 text converter for ASM/C/BASIC/E/... Author: akuehn@htwm.de Uploader: akuehn@htwm.de Version: 1.2 Type: dev/misc Features ~~~~~~~~ BinConv is a very configureable converter to convert binary files into text files. You can choose if You want bytes, words or longs converted and also if you want them converted into hexandecimal, decimal or binary numbers, You can also say how many numbers each row should have and also a special coppermode for diassembling copperlists is implemented, if You don't have a copperlist to diasssemble You can rip one with the implemented copperlist grabber. Unlike other converters You can also change the 'dc.b' string into anything else you need (eg. 'data' for BASIC users). This and even more is vailable thrugh the powerful GUI of BinConv . BinConv has been written in 100% ASM, so it's very short, actually 9.8kb + icon = 11kb, and the registered version is even 400 bytes shorter, yes, BinConv is Shareware for more infos read the 'About'-messsage. Requirements ~~~~~~~~~~~~ BinConv uses gadtools.library V39 so OS3.0 is required, also the great reqtools.libray, which is Copyright © by Nico François and Magnus Holmgren and which has become a essential part of most Amiga systems, is required but not included in this package. Installation ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Drag it wherever you want. If BinConv can't find anything it will let you know. Usage ~~~~~ 1.Load your file. 2.Select your convertmode. 3.Press the Convert/Save button. You can also select your convertmode before loading a file, or you can convert a file then change the convertmode and save again, just try it.
