-
- The "Hunk Processor" is a tool for editing the hunk structure of binary
- AmigaDOS load files (not object codes that must be linked afterwards, but
- complete executable binaries).
-
- Functions:
-
- Add and remove hunks, as well as relocation entries.
- Merge hunks to shorten programs without "crunching".
- Code optimizer to remove unnecessary jumps.
- Rexx interface for automatic operation.
-
-
- The "Hunk Processor" is a quiet old program I wrote years ago, so the GUI is
- really ugly - but this is a tool, not a piece of artwork. I mostly use to to
- patch bugs in existing programs, together with a standard debugging tool.
- The plus of the "Hunk Processor" is that it keeps the relocation data after
- loading an executable, so after patching it the "Hunk Processor" can re-
- create a loadable program.
-
-
- Due to my lazyness, a guide is missing, too. You're up to yourself using this,
- but you should consult me if you are interested in a guide or a manual. Cause
- I need some motivation writing a documentation, THE MANUAL WON'T BE FOR FREE.

- enough requests, I will start writing one.
