*******************************************************************************
BB2EXE v1.00
(w) by Swiff of Magic
Freeware
*******************************************************************************
1) What Is BB2EXE ?
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
BB2EXE is a simple program that allows you to save the bootblock from
any drive as an executeable file. Now you might say:
"That can't work `cause during booting execbase is in A6 and a valid
IORequest structure is in A1"
*BUT* I also thought of this so I put a little routine which opens
trackdisk.device and puts EXECBASE in A6 !!! Cool, ehh
2) How Does It Work ?
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
It simply reads the bootblock of the selected drive, puts a little
proggy in front of it and writes all these bytes into an executeable
file.
3) How To Use It ?
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Very easy:
The command line is the follwing
BB2EXE [Drive] [Filename]
[Drive] - the drive (DF0: - DF3:) of the bootblock to read
[Filename] - the name of the file to save the executeable program
4) What Application Has It ?
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
It's a good question. I don`t know for what reason you can use it.
E.g: You could run every trackloader Demo or Game from the CLI or
Workbench !!!
5) Something Else To Know ?
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This program was written by Swiff/Magic and is Freeware. You can copy
it as long as this file is spread too. If you have any comments,
bug reports, suggestions or anything else that can cause you to write
a letter to me then do so and write to:
