- This is a VERY simple utility I felt I needed to study those nasty Viruses
- hanging around...
- It converts a boot-block into an executable file, so you may use
- your favorite debugger (Wack, Dis, ...) to study it.
-
- SYNTAX: xboot infile outfile
-
- CAVEATS:
- <infile> should be exactly 1024 bytes long. It is normally the dump
- of blocks 0 and 1 of a floppy disk.
-
- DETAILS:
- The first three longwords of the boot-block are put in the second hunk
- (data hunk).
- All other data is thrown into the first hunk (code hunk).
- This has the disadvantage of breaking the PC-relative adressing for
- the data (like in ByteBandits virus).
-
- COMPILATION NOTES:
- I used standard AmigaDOS file functions, so that you may compile with
- amiga.lib before lc.lib, and have a smaller executable.
-
- DISTRIBUTION:
- Free ! This a Public Domain. Do whatever you want with this program.
