Atari Utility: xebin v1.1.0

April 22nd, 2011 No comments

Xebin is a small command-line utility for manipulating atari binary (executable) files. It can list contents of binary file, merge several files into a single loadable file, or pack file in a way similar to Piotr Fusik’s FlashPack.

xebin is written in D programming language and tested under Windows and Linux (x86). However, it should be possible to build and run it on any platform, for which D compiler is available. It is designed to be easily embeddable in build scripts.

Changelog:

  • Fixed bug in auto address setting for packed data.
  • Command line options and parameters work according to description.
  • Added support for hexadecimal addresses.
  • Added simple disassembler.
  • Added option to extract block from binary file.
  • Added option to list contents of compressed blocks.
  • xebin pack -v shows some statistics.
  • Build process simplified by incorporating xasm in xebin.
