Sophisticated Mapped Block Editing

TPF/GI’s “block editor” windows allow users to browse and edit blocks of data such as core, file, program, or other blocks. Data can be viewed and edited in both hex and character format.

Users can overlay the data in block editor windows with structures corresponding to DSECTS. These mapped structures can contain label fields, hex fields, and character fields with different font colors, background colors, and font attributes (bold, italic, underline).

Other block editor features:

• Automatic update while stepping, with altered bytes appearing in a contrasting color;
• Copy and paste of hex data only, character data only, or entire lines of both hex, character, and label data;
• Drag and drop of hex or character data;
• Full undo and redo of editing changes;
• Forward chaining and backward chaining when appropriate to the type of data;
• Double click of addresses opens additional core blocks; right click opens additional file blocks;
• Two different views of the same block in the same window;
• Overtyping of ranges of hex or character data with a couple of keystrokes;
• Full forward and backward search;
• Saving, restoring, and printing of data.
