Type:         util/cli
Architecture: m68k-amigaos

usage : Hexer <InFile> <OutFile> <MinWordLen> [CharSetFile]

This tiny Tool reads a binary File, extracts all readable Stuff (actualy every
Substring, which has at least <MinWordLen> Nonwhitespaces), and writes them
with the Position in the File to the given OutFile.

With a fourth Parameter you can add a Filename, which contains all Non-
whitespaces. A example is included (Hexer.Chars).

Some Games only use 7-Bit ASCII for their texts, and instead adding a ´\0´ to
the end, they set the eighth Bit of the last character of each word.
This is checked, if you don´t add any Nonwhitespaces with the eighth Bit set.

The Source is included and was compiled with M2Amiga 4.301d.
It should run on any Amiga, but nothing below A4000-40 Kick 3.1 is tested.

This is ANYWARE, but the Copyright of the Programm belongs to me.
This means, You can send me anything you want.
And if its enough Money (>= 15 DM, 10 $ etc.), you will receive the next
Version. (But at the Moment I´m too busy)

But don´t blame me, if Your Computer blows up, your doggy drops dead, or
anything like this, when You (ab)use this tiny Proggy.

Further Plans :
  - nice GUI
  - more intelligent Searchmodes (any Ideas out there ??)
  - more informations in the Output
  - builtin PatchOmatiC (also for integer values near the text)
  - all in all, this should become an HexEditor made for patching
  - decryption/decrunching (obtain XFD for decrunching)
    (any Algorithems known ?)
