   Module I.D.:   HEXP
   Module type:   Export module
   Author:        Dirk Haun @ WI2
   Status:        Freeware
   Version No:    0.04
   Version date:  24.07.1996
   Purpose:       Exporting data as C or Assembler source-text


Description:

This module converts files that 'Look'n See' displays as hex dumps into C 
or Assembler source texts. This permits any files to be prepared for 
direct incorporation into programs.
It is only usable with version 0.97 of 'Look'n See' or later, as any 
earlier ones lack the 'Save as...' menu entry, or any other means for 
exporting hex files.

Usage:

When a file is being displayed as a hex dump (if necessary hold down
the 'Alternate' key during loading) then the Hex-porter can be selected
via the 'Save as...' menu entry. The available options are 'C-source-text'
and 'Assembler source-text'. Following this a dialogue appears where one 
can select whether the data is to be output in hexadecimal or decimal.
In addition one can also assign a variable name or label for the data 
block here (if this is missing then 'Look'n See' will be used).

If a block is marked during a hex dump, then only that will be exported, 
otherwise the complete file.


Limitations:

- The created file is always saved as scrap.c or scrap.s (and also as
  scrap.txt) in the clipboard.
- The output will always be eight bytes per line.


Standard disclaimer:

This module fulfils its objects for me, which does not mean that 
it will do this everywhere. So should one of these modules do
something unexpected, I cannot be held responsible for any sort
of damage caused thereby (whatever it may be) -- you use it at
your own risk.
