For some opcodes that kind of thing is easy (e.g. NOP maps to 4E71, RTS to 4E75), but most opcodes are built bit by bit depending on the addressing mode. Which means that, except for opcodes which don't take parameters, you can't say that "MOVE" maps to 0xNNNN. I recommend that you use a disassembler (for exemple the unsupported Palm OS Debugger on the Mac, or something like Insider on the Palm) and browse the assembly code. Get a good book on the Motorola 68000 family of processors and remember that the 68k is big-endian, and that parameters to opcodes are SOURCE,DESTINATION (whereas Intel processor uses a DESTINATION,SOURCE notation). E.g. move.w d0,d7 puts the lower 16 bits of d0 in d7. -- Florent Pillet, Code Segment [EMAIL PROTECTED] BrainForest, outlines and action items for Palm OS handhelds -> Aportis Technologies Corp. http://www.aportis.com/ PowerGlot, the premier localization tool for Mac OS software -> PowerGlot Software http://www.powerglot.com/ Palm Buddy, MacOS active link companion for PalmOS handhelds -> ...and other tools... http://perso.wanadoo.fr/fpillet/
