That's an array (read: data block) containing binary code (obj code in hex notation). You wouldn't like to read this as text just like the processor won't try to do :) Have a look at the toolbox on your computer's disk -- it's plenty of aiding stuff.
rpm -ql binutils
nm(1) and (more likely) objdump(1) should be your friends. And some literature on the processor's (i386?) internals. Read "man 1 objdump" and look out for the "disass" catch word. Maybe you want to consult somebody with programming skills (C and assembly).
Hi, there is a freeware disassembler around that runs under Dos (freedos should work) to decode the array. One would defenitely need an experienced assembler programmer to understand the disassembled code anyway as the result should look somehow like cld push cx mov cx, 0FFFh mov al, 0 .... so nothing human readable. mike
