13 Most programs involved with the EM project only produce and accept
14 EM programs in compact form.
15 These files are only machine readable.
16 A description of this compact form can be found in [1].
17 To inspect the code produced by compilers or to patch them for one reason
18 or another, human readable assembly code is needed.
19 Em_decode produces human readable assembly code from the compact form.
21 Em_decode accepts the normal compact form in both optimized and
24 Em_encode produces the compact form
25 out of these human readable assembly code.
27 The first argument is the input file.
28 The second argument is the output file.
29 Both programs can act as a filter.
