- This is a demo version of ReSource V3.20, released 1 October 1989.
-
- This archive is freely distributable for demonstration purposes providing
- nothing is altered. Do not change the names or contents of any files in
- this archive.
-
- The ONLY difference between this demo and the commercial version are that
- all "save" type functions will bring up descriptive messages about how that
- particular function works in the commercial version.
-
- This text will help introduce you to ReSource, what it is, and how it can
- help you to be a more productive programmer. For other documentation and
- instructions an how to use ReSource, please obtain the file: RS36DOC.ZOO.

- *** ReSource V3.20 Demo ***
-
- "ReSource is fully-featured and flexible... Everything is fast. The
- program is astonishing in many ways. The massive size of its internal
- tables boggles the mind. I admire the remarkable accuracy with which it
- makes intuitive guesses at the nature of certain bytes."
- - Jim Butterfield, Transactor Vol. 2 #5
-
- "ReSource is an intelligent interactive disassembler which makes full use
- the Amigas windowing environment ... One of the features that distinguish
- ReSource is its ability to produce output which is compatible with most of
- the popular assemblers... a bargain in this world of overpriced software."
- - from a review by Andre Marino
-
- ReSource is an interactive disassembler for the Amiga computer. Written
- entirely in hand-coded assembly language, this is the most powerful dis-
- assembler available on ANY personal computer! Over 700 menu functions allow
- you to:
-
- * Load from ANY file, read tracks, or disassemble memory directly.
- * Overlay binary images to disk or memory.
- * Save ALL, allowing you to continue disassembling later.
- * Save to a ".asm" file, partial saves supported.
- * Automated symbol creation:
- JSR -$1E(A6) becomes JSR _LVOOpen(A6)
- MOVE.L #$3EE,D0 becomes MOVE.L #MODE_NEWFILE,D0
- Over 5000 symbols supported!
- * Incredibly smooth scrolling.
- * Full key rebinding supported. Load/save keytables.
- * Up to 38 user-defined macros available. Load/save/overlay macros,
- looping/conditionals supported, variable execution speed.
- * Supports both local and global macros.
- * Successfully loads root node of programs with overlays.
- * Optionally optimizes branches during disassembly.
- * Numeric and text processing functions allow you to automate many things
- that used to make disassembling so slow!
- * Search function uses full ARP wildcards. Search forwards, backwards,
- or use the special bi-directional search!
- * The fastest text rendering available on the Amiga.
- * Forwards and backwards referencing allows you to quickly examine
- referenced code/data, and return to your original position.
- Nested references supported.
- * Automatically/manually create labels. Manually create/edit/delete labels,
- symbols, end-of-line comments, full-line comments.
- * Special support for base-register data referencing.
- * Many files may be successfully reassembled directly from ReSource output.
- In a trial disassembly, "Preferences" was disassembled, and the resulting
- source code assembled into a working program, all in under 15 minutes.
- * Extensive printed documentation provided.

- Read what users of ReSource have to say.

- Keith Glover, of Victoria says:
-
- "As a relative newcomer to the world of assembler on the Amiga/68000, I was
- eager to see what ReSource would do. After having obtained a copy of the
- ReSource demo from Megadisc and showing it to a number of other people, we
- all agreed on one thing - whatever your understanding and level of assembler
- knowledge, ReSource is a must!!."
-
- Will Mcgovern, of Kotara, NSW, had this to say:
-
- "I respect the time and effort you [Glen McDiarmid] have put into ReSource
- and firmly believe that you should be fairly compensated. ...a very
- reasonable price for such a monumental program."

- ***************************************************************************
-
- You will require "arp.library" to be in your libs: directory before running
- ReSource.
-
- To run the demo, type:
- 1> [run] RsDemo
-
- It will take a moment to load and unpack itself. The demo version has been
- packed to save you downloading time, but this is not true of the commercial
- version.
-
- After the demo has loaded, you will see the familiar ARP file requester.
- Just enter any small executable file, such as from your C: directory, and
- you can begin to experience the power of ReSource.
-
- NOTE: Because of size constraints, this archive contains only this file
- and the demo of the executable. For the user manual, please obtain the
- file: RS320DOCS.ZOO. For support programs and their documentation, please
- obtain the file: RS320SUPP.ZOO.
