I looking to translate some German text in a PD .prg file to English
so when I run the program I can read the prompts. Is there any PD
that will allow me to read the program into memory, allows me to
search and edit the German words and then re-write the file to disk.
I have programs that allow me to read/edit but not save, read/edit/save
but not the same file e.g. read 32K, saves 40K etc. Do I need a
disk sector editor? Am I going to get check-sum errors?

If you can fit the English into the same number of characters or less, then all you need to do is, use a sector editor and replace the characters. If you need more space for the English, then it is very much harder. You must disassemble the program, change the text and all pointers referencing anything from tht point on, and re-assemble it. > disk sector editor? Am I going to get check-sum errors? Not unless the program computes its own checksum to prevent viruses or piracy. When you re-write the given sector of a file, the sector header gets updated with the correct checksum. There are several PD sector editors around, look in topic #9 to see if any are online, if not, I'll bet someone has one and will upload it, if you ask. Jim | |||||
| 915.2 | dlii does sector editing among other things | OLDTMR::WALLACE | Thu Jun 28 1990 19:14 | 7 | |
The program called DLII which I just made available OLDTMR:: (and I've fixed the write protection :-) has a sector editor which alows searching, modifying, and saving. OLDTMR::$1$dua8:[wallace.public.st]dlii.arc Ray | |||||
