Case study

Carrier Command Reverse Engineering: seven executable reconstructions

Carrier Command Reverse Engineering maintains annotated, reassemblable sources for seven DOS, Amiga, Atari ST and Mac releases of Carrier Command. Its tools unpack originals, identify functions and compare assembled executables byte for byte with user-supplied files. DOS version overlays and M68K offset maps share annotations across releases.
