O'Browser
Whetstone Corp.
January 12, 1992


Summary

O'Browser is a simple tool for extracting interface,
image and sound segments from applications.

To browse an application's segments, click Open...,
then select an application from the Open panel.  For
applications that have app wrappers (.app), the
executable is inside the .app directory.


Usage

- With O'Browser, you can browse the segments of a Mach-O
file, view the segment sizes, and open or drag-n-drop the
segment files.

- An icon well holds icons for a selected segments.
Multiple segments can be selected.  Below, the size in
bytes is displayed.  

- Segment files can be opened by double-clicking on the
icon or by double-clicking the segment file names in the
browser.  

-Segment files may also be copied out of the application
by dragging the icon from the well into a Workspace
folder or another application that accepts dropped icons.

Technical Information

- O'Browser provides a front end to the otool and segedit
command line programs.  It uses an awk script to parse
the output from those programs and extract the
executable's segments to a directory in /tmp.  If otool,
segedit and awk aren't located in their default
directories, O'Browser won't work correctly.
