Atari EXE Tools is a robust, cross-platform utility written in Ada 2022 for analysing Atari 8-bit executable (EXE) files, used in Atari 400/800 and XL/XE systems or emulators like Altirra and Atari800. Unlike most existing tools, which are typically Windows-only, this tool operates seamlessly on macOS, Linux, and Windows, making it an essential asset for retro computing enthusiasts and developers working across diverse platforms.

Key features include:

Header Analysis: Extract and display detailed metadata from EXE files, including memory start/end addresses, segment lengths, and init/run vectors.

  > exe_tools-main --print-header ./test/share/atari_check_exe_test/HELLO_C.EXE
  File: ./test/share/atari_check_exe_test/HELLO_C.EXE
  Magic: $FFFF; Start: $2E00; End: $2EF5; Length: 246
  Magic: $0000; Start: $02E2; End: $02E3; Length: 2; Init: $2E47
  Magic: $0000; Start: $2400; End: $28DE; Length: 1247
  Magic: $0000; Start: $02E0; End: $02E1; Length: 2; Run: $2401

Data Dumping: Output hexadecimal data from EXE files for inspection, with ATASCII portions omitted to ensure compatibility with non-UTF-8 environments.

> exe_tools-main --print-data ./test/share/atari_check_exe_test/HELLO_A.EXE
