Under one of the old forked versions of AppleWin, namely version 1.8j,
there was an icon on the command bar to extract files from disk
images. Doing so would produce an AppleSoft listing for type A files
and a hex dump listing for type B files, with the appropriate "BSAVE
<FILENAME>, <START>, <LENGTH>" command at the end.
Using CiderPress, I have managed to dump AppleSoft listings to text,
but for B(inary) files, all that I have managed to do is to produce an
assembler listing (complete with those assembly commands like JMP,
etc.)
I liked the old AppleWin 1.8j listings, because they are the same type
of plain hex (i.e., type right into the monitor, no assembler
required) listings that appeared in old issues of Nibble, etc.
Is there any way to produce Monitor-ready hex listings from B-type
Binary files using CiderPress? If so, how do I do it?
When you double click on a binary file in CiderPress, the default
listing that is produced is a disassembly listing, but you can select
other options from the dropdown list below the listing, or simply
click the "Hex" button at the bottom of the
screen.
Thank you, but the "Hex" button produces a listing that can't be
directly typed into the monitor (i.e., it can't be copied and then
pasted using a SHIFT-INSERT with AppleWin).
A line of CidePress "Hex" listing looks like this:
00003df0: 91 26 ee 07 40 c8 ee 0d 40 ad 0d 40 c9 04 d0

A line of AppleWin 1.8j hex listing looks like this:
32D3: A0 A0 A0 A0 A0 A0 A0 A0 A0 A0 AA 01 1F 74 00 5D
Is there a way to make CiderPress produce the same type of listing, so
that it can be directly fed into the monitor?
You can open the hex .txt file in Word and hold down the Alt key as
you drag the cursor to select the unwanted ASCII interpretation of
the data. After it is selected, Delete will remove it. Then re-save
the file and you're set.
Many people don't know about Alt-<select> in Word. It allows a
two-dimensional selection, rather than a textual selection. I've
found it very useful for converting an assembler listing back into
assembler source. ;-)
