Uphill to school both ways

I really never had time to play with BitHoist. What exactly does it do?

Bithoist has several jobs. The most relevant here is to identify a .bin, display it's mask, and confirm that it's stock or modified.

Robert, I'll look through old emails and the gmecm list archives to see if Ludis noted any special instructions. IIRC I needed to modify the make file for the Intel platform. If you're using a make file that I uploaded there's a chance it's the modified version. I have a 'nix machine at the house, although it's Intel based, so we could probably work together to figure out compile instructions that get the job done. Just out of curiousity, could you post a sample of the output you're getting?

I got BitHoist to work on my Mac ( PowerPC Mac OS X 10.4.11 ). I noticed that someone else wrote the make for Linux. I compiled from the command line with the Linux make file.

Also, I've got BitHoist to work on Ubuntu Linux with the intel architecture.

mac $ ./BitHoist -id Sunbird.bin

I'm playing around displaying binary files in hex. I've have two questions.

1) There seems to be a repeating sequence in the first 2 or 4 bytes. What does this mean?
2) What does the last number after the hex dump mean?
example -- :00000001FF from the first command

Here is what I see:

I working on a little readme to describe how to run the program.

I haven't played with S records in years.
S113C010 =
S1 Data Sequence 2
13 $13 (d19) bytes in remainder of line
C010 address in file of first byte of data line

Intel format.
:10C02000 =
:10 $10 (d16) bytes in data field
C020 Address in chip of first byte of data line
00 Data type (16 bit address data records)

Techtronix format:
%2A6EE4C020 =
%2A $2A (d42) characters in line
6 data fields (vs termination fields) in line
EE checksum
4 number of bytes making up the data address
C020 address in chip of first byte on line
