- Short: Binary, executable, iff file editor V1.0
- Author: progers@undergrad.uwaterloo.ca (Patrick Rogers)
- Uploader: progers@undergrad.uwaterloo.ca (Patrick Rogers)
- Type: util/misc
-
- Computers store all data as sequential strings of numbers in one format
- or another. Many utilities are available to view and edit files in their
- most primitive state, as sequential binary data. However, since most files
- are structured in a more complex fashion, it is often useful to view them
- in such a structured format. ChunKit is a hex editor designed to view
- and edit iff and executable files in such a structured manner.
-
- Rather than dumping the unformated contents of the file to the screen
- ChunKit first checks to see if the file is in executable or iff format.
- If so, it splits the file into it's component chunks, allowing you to
- examine the components of the file without having to wade through all of
- it's structural information. You can then add, edit or delete any part
- of the file.
-
- ChunKit requires at least OS 2.04
-
- ChunKit has the following features:
-
- - Opens all files
- - Displays all iff files in a tree format allowing chunks to be
- deleted, renamed or edited. This means you can read and modify
- iff files easily without having to worry about iff structure.
- - Executable, object and library files can be examined and edited in
- a tree format. Each Hunk can be opened and it's symbol, reloc
- or code blocks can be examined and modified. Symbol and debug
- blocks can be removed to reduce size and load time.
- - New iff and binary files can be created from scratch. If you need
- to create a specific file there is no need to edit an existing
- file.
- - OS friendly, non modal gadtools interface, streamlined to be as
- user friendly as possible (i.e.: There are a lot of features, not a
- lot of buttons. The emphasis has been placed upon giving the user
- as many useful features as possible without an overwhelming array
- of options. If the program can determine something on it's own it
- does so.)
- - Fully supports the Amiga clip board.
- - Modular internal design so new types of files and chunks can be
- edited in the future.
- - Enforcer clean.
- - Non features such as non standard file requesters have not been
- included. If the user prefers some other file requestor they can
- patch it into their system and all of their applications can use it
- and share a common interface.
