- Description:
-
- DataToAOF is designed primarily for C or ARM code programmers, who wish to
- store data of some sort or other within their programs. It was originally
- written so that sprite files could be stored within !Runimage files, to stop
- people editing them.
-
- The program allows you to encapsulate any file within an AOF file that can
- then be linked into your program. This will allow you to include data,
- sprites, templates, drawfiles etc. inside the !RunImage file of your
- application, where they're safe from prying eyes.
-
- A replacement to the Risc_OSLib resspr functions is provided to allow
- sprites files to be hidden. You will have to write functions to deal with
- any other sort of files yourself (although replacement template functions
- should be ready soon).
-
- Examples are provided to show you how to use text files and sprites files.
