A GUI TO INSPECT, AND EXTRACT OR CHANGE PORTIONS OF, MACH-O FILES, ARCHIVES (LIBRARIES), TAR
FILES.

MOST OF OTOOL'S, ALL OF SEGEDIT'S AND PARTS OF OTHER UTILITIES' FUNCTIONALITY< AND SOME EXTRAS.

MACH-O AND LIBRARY FILES MAY BE ``FAT''. THE NAME OF THIS PROGRAM IS MERELY HISTORICAL.

Tar files, find facility, more symbols in disassembled mc680x0 code,
and some other features, only in the registered version.

Suggestions, bug reports, reviews, and other reactions welcome.

Further development largely depends on your reactions (and the number
of registered users), and may include: (further) ar(1), lipo(1),
nm(1), otool(1), size(1), strip(1) functionality, patching strings
(if somebody tells me how to do that with relocation entries and
such), adding various statistics and tests, NEXTSTEP help, etcetera.

Opening __TEXT/__text disassembled or fully symbolical just lets
otool(1) do the work (on 3.0, this means mc680x0 and i860); for more
symbols a postprocessor is applied. In future releases, disassembly
will probably become fully customised.


Version 1.3 PR 1993-11-14
for NEXTSTEP 3.0 and higher
Built for mc680x0 and i386
on a NeXT computer running NEXTSTEP_3.1

This version is shareware. You may, and are invited to, copy the
non-registered version (indicated by a panel as the application
starts up), or distribute copies (always exact copies, except that
you may strip architectures for you own use), but not the
``registered'' version, which is directly delivered by myself to
registered users only. If you like and want to use this program,
you should register by e-mail or traditional mail, and, if you are
not a student, pay a fee equivalent to no less than fifty ECUs or
a hundred US dollars (whichever you prefer), probably by check or
money order, to me, at the following address:

Registered users are entitled to receive timely corrections of any
bug that bothers them at no cost (wouldn't you like a deal like that
for NEXTSTEP?), to automatically receive any corrections that are
made to the program, and they receive a version with more features
enabled.
