Features:
- If you see an opcode in the source code and you want to edit it in the PRC file, all you have to do is press F10 to jump to the correct location.
- Jump to a link reference with F11 and jump right back with F12.
- Create XML files for PW-Patcher from within the editor.
- The PRC file can automaticly splitted with SplitPRC and disassebled with Pilotdis.
- The source file is splitted into the source part, the label cross reference part and the global cross reference part.
- Multiple undo when editing.
- Set unlimited bookmarks in the source file.
- Treeview with Form, alert and string resources.
- Syntax highlighting
- Etc.
Limitations:
- PRC edit is only compatible with pilotdis wich can be found at www.palmgear.com
- You cannot change the length of the PRC file in the editor.
- The program isn't bastard proof. I'm sure that you can crash the program but I don't care.
- You cannot create illegal patches with PRC edit.
Tips:
- Use ctrl+shift+[0..9] to set a bookmark, use ctrl+[0..9] to jump to it. This works in source editor and in hex editor!
- Modified something in hexeditor and forgot from wich sourcetab you came? Press F9 to jump to it.
- Use the right click menu often. There are handy options like: search up/down for word on cursor and jump to subroutine under cursor.
- Look in the options screen. There are some nice options you can change to get most out of PRCedit.
- Look in all menus to see all the power of PRcedit.
Built in assembler:
There's a small assembler built in to insert custom opcodes in the binary file. It only supports some Data tranfers Instructions. You can use:
- MOVEQ, MOVE.B, MOVE.W and MOVE.L for instruction
- Dn, An, (An), (An)+ and -(An) for source and destination registers where n is a number from 0..7
- #n for source where n is a number (You can't use the syntax #10!$0A, use #10 or #$0A)
In hexeditor, choose the menu "Insert", "From assembler" to use this feature

source file contains the Link list (LCR) and the Global variables list (GCR) and
that PRC splits them on opening. If you save the Source file, you'll have to save

reload it manual if you open the file again.
