TITLE

     Disect - Symbolic dissassembler & debugger.

VERSION

DESCRIPTION

     Disect is a very powerful combined disassembler/debugger program,
     which has been designed to be easy to use. Its power is achieved at the
     expense of memory: the minimum requirement is 1Mb; for larger projects,
     2Mb will be required.
     
     The debugger allows an executable file, a disk boot-block, a binary 
     file, or an area of memory to be loaded and created as a Process. It is
     even possible to grab an existing memory-resident Process. A Process's 
     instructions can be executed individually, or the Process can be 
     activated, with or without breakpoints installed. System exceptions can
     be trapped before they crash the machine, and program symbols can be 
     read from executable files.
     
     The disassembler allows a loaded program to be commented, have blank 
     lines inserted, and have it's numbers and addresses replaced with 
     constant or program symbols. All the symbols of Release 3 of the system
     include files are available to the disassembler. A program which has 
     been dissected in this way can then be saved as two source files: a 
     program file, and a support file. The support file will contain EQUs for
     all required constant symbols.
     

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

     Disect requires Release 2 of the Amiga operating system; it also 
     requires the ASL library, and GadTools library.
