heasm66/unz

UnZ is a cross-platform command-line utility designed to unpack and inspect Z-machine game files (Z-code). It provides detailed analysis of game internals, including headers, objects, strings, and decompiled routines, while supporting multiple Z-machine versions and output formats. The tool is built on .NET and distributed as self-contained binaries for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

New MSBuild publish profiles have been added for SingleFile, self-contained deployments targeting Linux (arm, x64), macOS (x64), and Windows (arm, x64, x86). These profiles enable building optimized, single-file executables for these platforms, with the Linux x64, macOS x64, and Windows x64 profiles targeting .NET 9, while the remaining platforms target .NET 7. The Windows x64 profile includes additional performance optimizations such as Tiered PGO and Invariant Globalization.

UnZ/My Project · high confidence

UnZ is a new command-line tool for unpacking and inspecting Z-machine game files (Z-code). It provides detailed views of game internals including headers, objects, strings, grammar, and decompiled Z-code routines, with support for multiple output syntaxes (TXD, Inform, ZAP, pseudo-code). The tool handles various Z-machine versions (6 and 7), supports UTF-8 output, and can process blorb files. It is available as a native binary for macOS (arm64/x64), Windows (x64/x86), and Linux (x64/arm64).

(repo-wide) · high confidence

The UnZ utility now includes a comprehensive Z-code parser (Decode.vb) and memory map analysis (MemoryMap.vb) that correctly calculates unpacking addresses for Z-machine versions 6 and 7, handling cases where the file offset (FOFF) differs from the string offset (SOFF). This enables accurate identification of code routines, strings, and global variables across various Z-machine versions, including support for Zilch, Zilf, Inform5, and Inform6 compilers. The tool also provides detailed memory layout information, helping users understand the structure of their Z-code files.

UnZ · high confidence

The UnZ application project file has been created to target the .NET 10.0 framework, establishing the runtime environment for the executable. The project metadata is configured with version 0.17 for the assembly, file, and package versions, and includes copyright information for the years 2021-2026.
