Some simple utility programs
Linux builds of all files are included. They use fairly generic code, so it should be possible to build for other platforms with a compiler of your choice.
This reads in a binary file and generates a C style header file containing a byte array in blocks of 256 bytes.
usage:
./bin2h x.bin > x.h
This reads in a binary file and generates a FORTH CODE block using c, words.
usage:
./bin2forth x.bin > x.fs
This reads in a binary file and generates an XOR checksum, as using in Jupiter ACE tape files. This can be useful for verifying damaged files, or fixing the checksum in patched files.
usage:
./bin2xor x.bin
This reads in a binary file and generates a block of .BYTE defines suitable for TASM.
usage:
./bin2asm x.bin > x.asm
This reads in a binary font file for 8x8 characters and generates a block of .BYTE defines suitable for TASM, will comments showing the characters.
usage:
./font2asm x.bin > x.asm
