This version can assemble some commands into a smaller number of bytes than the previous version, which means squeezing them into the small spaces lots of programs leave for us should be (slightly) easier now.

File editor now built in - includes direct assembling into the executable, with full disassembler so you know where you are. Comes with useful undo feature just in case an instruction was slightly longer than you thought it was.

plus other changes, etc, etc...

To come: show string references in disassembly window. For now, it only shows either nothing, or hex codes from each instruction. To get the hex code listing, just click on the right hand column tab.

Where to get it? hxxp://ibiblio.org/paulc/rta/rta111.zip

Comments/suggestions/bug reports/etc - either by PM or in this thread. Ta !

Bug fix - hex opcodes not displayed properly.
Added - hex/data references (click on the third column header in disassembly)

Hi squidge,

How about loading saved asm file? or text file? watever... so that i can make a patch template for certain protector, and load it each time i want to patch a prog with that protector?

Good idea ! I'll put it on the todo list

I'm assuming you mean a file containing VA address and asm code to place there, and then just goes through and makes all the mods for you? If so, no problem.

Probably harder to implement... but it would be real useful only if we can edit asm code on the fly... as in we load about 20 lines of asm, edit a single value in line 7 for example... you might want to allow variable instruction size or you just want to enforce editing to keep within the original instruction length...

Hee... i can try to think of more work for you to do if you wish ...

Well, I'm interested in any features you may have to keep me busy when I get bored, so....
