Procbyte is a tool to access binary files from shell programming. It has binary data handling, read/write capability, basic math and date conversions. It is intended to aid bash programming, but can be used from any command line tool or application. The posted file may be compiled for an Athlon and may not run on lower intel x86 systems. I'm sure it'll run on Athlon or AMD-64 systems, but might not run even on Pentium-IV processors. If not simply type "cc -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -o procb procb.c" to recompile assuming you have gcc installed. Sorry about that, I've never had to worry about processor options when compiling before. If you have any trouble at all, don't hesitate to berate me and insist that I upload a proper distribution. I marked it as cross-platform because the C program should compile just about anywhere. Dan
OK, I decided to replace my PC with one I've been building for a few years and have had nothing by problems, works great -- until it locks solid; having a problem with CD/HD sharing a modified IDE cable with pin 39 cut; DMA issues, and a few other combined problems have kept me busy for weeks. I almost got away with posting the 2 month old files, but there were a few changes I wanted to make to commands that would cause issues if anyone used the old syntax, so after not touching it for exactly two months, I finally finished it tonight. Enjoy. (Even though you're welcome to complain:) Dan
Version 0.2b Initial Beta Release 2008-05-29. Added new commands, allow spaces for readability. Added subcommand parameters to "Z" command. Changed H to uppercase only (functional simplicity). Changed "S" and "=" command to have subcommands. Dropped "#" (hex print param, now use "=x"). Slightly improved documentation clarity in code.
