I tried disassembling the DigiPaint program with a disassembler that I have been working on. In doing so, I ran across a hunk type of $400003ea. What is this? According to the Amiga Technical Reference Manual, $000003ea would be a HUNK_DATA, but no mention is made of $400003ea. Anyone out there know what this is? If so, please let me know. Thanks, David Hankins OTG Software

David, that indicates that the hunk has to be loaded into CHIP memory. For a reference on how and why that bit is used, look right near the end of the AmigaDOS Technical Reference Manual, in the section on the ATOM utility. Nick

Thanks for your response. I did not own a copy of the AmigaDOS Technical Reference Manual which described ATOM when I began programming the disassembler. Yesterday, I went out and got the new Version 1.2 reference manual and found just what I was looking for. David Hankins OTG Software
