- .MAC TO .COM CONVERSION
-
-
- A few users of SLUT42.ARC and MACSLIDE have been asking me about the
- conversion program. They are asking me how they can use the .COM file for
- their MAC - view type program, (that only reads .MAC). Simple!
-
- When the conversion is done, not even one byte has been added or subtracted
- from the original .MAC file. Only the header.
-
- Your MAC view program should overlook this header and go for the RAW data.
- Programs like EDITMAC works. You should still have the 732+ vectors still
- intact.
-
- Simple RENAME the .COM file to .MAC via DOS.
- If you are a good programmer and you know what you are doing, you may use
- the DEBUG program to change the header back to the original state.
-
- 1. The first two bytes should be NUL (00) and a FF (0C).
-
- 2. Write the new changes as .MAC
-
- I hope this helps.
-
- P.S. I'll be taking a short leave of absence (Chicago) for about 6+ months,
- but will be popping in and out of hear every other month.
-
- Thanx, and take care.
