TextFile

This program is used to patch/dump binary files.


COMMAND = CHANGE
          Used to modify the data in a file.
          applicapable switches = ADDRESS, BASE, BYTE, FN, LONG_WORD, 
          OLD, NEW, WORD.   
          
COMMAND = DUMP
          Used to display the data in a file.
          applicapable switches = ADDRESS, BASE, BYTE, FN, LONG_WORD, 
          WORD.


SWITCH  = ADDRESS=H                      
          Specifies the byte address (in HEX) of the datum to change. 
          Target address (base + address) is checked against datum type
          for proper alignment.                   

SWITCH  = BASE=H                                     startup default = 00000000 
          Specifies base address (in HEX) of binary file image.
          
SWITCH  = BYTE
          Specifies size of data to dump/modify.
          
SWITCH  = FN=AAA.M200
          Specifies the complete filename in normal ascii characters.
          Extention must be included. One may patch any kind of file however
          the program assumes a binary file.

SWITCH  = LONGWORD
          Specifies size of data to dump/modify.

SWITCH  = OLD=H
          Specifies expected (before patch) data (in HEX) at target address.
          Is verified against datum size.                     
          
SWITCH  = NEW=H
          Specifies new data (in HEX) at target address.
          Is verified against datum size.                     

SWITCH  = WORD
          Specifies size of data to dump/modify.
