Resource

My request is for a (the?) manual for the Disassembler on the Amiga, Resource.

If not that, maybe a tutorial on how to use it properly?

I have no idea which section this was supposed to be posted in btw. Requests-->Apps or Problems-->Apps?

On disk one there is a brief tutorial on how to use it (it steps through disassembling a simple utility) but I find the program very intuitive and easy to use - if you know assembler, all the commands are fairly obvious.

The first thing to do is this:

showkeys > ram:keys.txt

Then look in ram:keys.txt for a full list of all the keys to use. Memorise some of the common ones. Most common ones I use are:

e = exec.library
g = graphics.library
d = dos.library
` = numeric base 10
~ = numeric base 16
Left Amiga L = data to longwords
Left Amiga W = data to words
Left Amiga B = data to bytes
Left Amiga A = data to ascii

If you don't know any asm, you are seriously screwed though as you will not understand half of the functions...

Thanks Codetapper. Those keys look like they'll actually help me

I do know most of the assembly on Amiga (need a quick refresher). The only reason I wanted the manual was because I've seen some people manage to put labels into their ASM code (which I assumed is done by Resource itself)

eg.

jsr (-$96,a6)

becomes

jsr (SuperState,a6)

or something along those lines. I don't want to reference the RKRMs everytime I need this information.

Resource is capable of this right? or am I just kidding myself?
