.SH DESCRIPTION
Most programs involved with the EM project only produce and accept
EM programs in compact form.
These files are only machine readable.
A description of this compact form can be found in [1].
To inspect the code produced by compilers or to patch them for one reason
1991-11-22 13:18:57 +00:00
or another, human readable assembly code is needed.
Em_decode produces human readable assembly code from the compact form.

.PP
Em_decode accepts the normal compact form in both optimized and
1991-11-22 13:18:57 +00:00
unoptimized form.
