Introduction

The Fragmalyzer is a scriptable and extensible development utility for examining and modifying Macintosh code fragments. It provides a graphical user interface for all those chores that previously required MPW tools (DumpPEF, ModPEF, MakeStub, et al) or low-level debugger commands (cfm, frags, et al), or that were previously not possible (in any practical sense) at all. If you develop shared libraries or native resources, plug-ins, or other application extensions, you're wasting time if you aren't using the Fragmalyzer.

Requirements

Recommended:

You can read the latest version of this documentation on the Internet.


Installation and Registration

Installation of the Fragmalyzer is a snap - just copy it to your hard disk and you are ready to use it in a limited demonstration mode. Once you have paid for the Fragmalyzer, you will receive a serial number that you can use to personalize your copy of the Fragmalyzer (and eliminate the demonstration mode).

Register the Fragmalyzer

There are two ways to pay for the Fragmalyzer: over the worldwide web (Internet), or by using the Register application to prepare your payment to be sent in by email, postal mail, FAX, or telephone.

The easiest, quickest, and most secure method to pay is over the worldwide web. You can use secure registration (recommended), or non-secure registration. You will need a credit card to use this method.

Alternatively, you can run the Register application and follow the instructions to create a registration form to send in to Kagi (the service that handles payments for the Fragmalyzer). Note: Kagi only processes payments, they do not provide technical support.

Personalizing your copy of the Fragmalyzer

Once you have sent in your payment and received your serial number (this may take up to five days, but is usually quicker), you should personalize your copy of the Fragmalyzer. Here is how to do it:

  1. Launch the Fragmalyzer
  2. If you do not see the registration dialog after the splash, press Command-R.
  3. Type your name, company name, and serial number in the labeled fields.
  4. Press the "Register" button.
You are done!


Distribution

The Fragmalyzer may be distributed at freely accessible download sites on the Internet and on the major online services (e.g., America Online and CompuServe). Macintosh periodicals may distribute the Fragmalyzer 1.0.4 on promotional CDs bundled with their magazines. Arrangements to distribute the Fragmalyzer with developer-oriented CDs can be arranged easily.
