HEXIFY, Utilities, Convert to or from HEX (printable ASCII) file CKVHEX and CKVDEH Originally by Stuart Hecht of Stevens Institute of Technology. Later versions by Eric McQueen, Utah State University. CKVHEX is a Macro-32 program to convert any VMS file into a printable ASCII "hex" file, suitable for transfer as a text file by Kermit, electronic mail, or other means. CKVDEH will convert a hex file created by CKVHEX back into its original form, with all FILES-11 attributes intact. The current version of CKVDEH.MAR supports both 16-bit-address and 32-bit-address format files by changing the ':' that starts each line to '<' for 32-bit- address lines (you can also use 24-bit addresses by putting ';' on the front of a line). It does not require the output file to be contiguous. CKVHEX only creates 32-bit address lines. Older versions of CKVHEX created 16-bit lines. The current version of CKVDEH should be able to decode either kind of file correctly. To build CKVDEH, to do this: MACRO CKVDEH LINK CKVDEH To build CKVHEX: MACRO CKVHEX LINK CKVHEX To use either of these programs, simply run it. It will prompt you for any required input or output file names. [End of CKVDEH.HLP]
