<H2>INTRODUCTION</H2>

|
|
|
This tool prints headers of an Atari executable file.
|
|
|
|
|
It shows, into which memory areas the file loads,
|
|
|
|
|
and what are init and run addresses.<P>
|
|
|
|
|
<B>Important note:</B> X-HEAD is an extremely simple tool. Jindrich Kubec
|
|
|
|
|
wrote a tool with similar purpose, but much more features (disassembly
|
|
|
|
|
in different formats, including X-Assembler), called ChkExe.

|
Simply run X-HEAD with executable filename. No options are supported.<P>
|

|
|
|
X-HEAD will read the file and display its headers in following format:
|
|
|
|
|
<PRE> bbbb-eeee xxxx</PRE>
|
|
|
|
|
where <TT>bbbb</TT> is the begin, <TT>eeee</TT> - the end of the block,
|
2002-05-22 10:24:30 +00:00
|
|
|
and <TT>xxxx</TT> is the execution (init or run) address.<P>
|
1999-09-09 23:20:00 +00:00
|
|
|
The summary includes:<BR>
|
|
|
|
|
<TT>xxxx bytes</TT> - length of file, including headers<BR>
|
|
|
|
|
<TT>xxxx blocks</TT> - number of headers<BR>
|
|
|
|
|
<TT>xxxx inits</TT> - number of init blocks (<TT>02e2-02e3</TT>)<BR>
