- COM2DATA
- Command
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Purpose: Converts a file of machine language code into a file
- of BASIC DATA statements. The data file may be merged
- into BASIC programs, thus simplifying the process of
- using machine language subroutines in BASIC.
-
- Format: Interpreted: BASIC COM2DATA
- Compiled: COM2DATA
-
- Type: Internal External
- ***
-
- Remarks: COM2DATA will prompt for the names of input and output
- files, and the line number to give to the first DATA
- statement. When finished, COM2DATA returns you to
- DOS.
-
- Due to a quirk in BASIC 1.1 and the BASIC compiler,
- programs produced by compiled CHASM or interpreted
- CHASM run under BASIC 1.1 will have incorrect file
- sizes recorded in the disk directory. Upon reading
- such files, COM2DATA will invariably produce a
- multiple of 128 data values. Generally, the actual
- program will be followed with a number of spurious
- &H00's, which may be deleted after merging.
-
- Copyright: This utility is part of the CHASM assembler package,
- and is copyright (c) 1983 by David Whitman. The
- author reserves the exclusive right to distribute this
- package for profit. This program may be copied freely
- by individuals for evaluation purposes. It is
- expected that those who find the program useful will
- make a contribution directly to the author of the
- program.
