- WARNING
-
- Although this program is freely distributable (see COPYRIGHT below), I
- would appreciate if you take the time to write me a line or two (E-Mail
- please) if you are using any of my programs or if you have any kind of
- ideas or suggestions (This is not too much to ask, is it?). If you feel
- particularly generous, I would like to receive a disk with any useful
- programs you have written, preferrably with source. Thanks!

- DESCRIPTION
-
- Bin is a program to convert a single-hunk Amiga executable into a binary
- file. It does that by using standard AmigaDOS functions (LoadSeg) instead
- of relying on the actual disk storage format. It is mostly useful for
- Assembly language programs that are to be used as bootblocks or as data for
- C programs. It works both under WB1.3 and WB2.0.
-
-
- OPTIONS
-
- usage: bin <input> <output>
-
- <input> is the standard AmigaDOS executable file.
- <output> is a binary representation of the code in <input>, without any
- kind of header, trailer or special information embedded.
-
-
- EXAMPLES
-
- to convert bblock executable to bblock.bin memory dump:
- bin bblock bblock.bin
-
-
- BUGS
-
- None known, but problems may arise if the input file does not follows
- the exact expected format. Some tests have shown that the program seems to
- detect correctly the invalid cases.
