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.
