COM2DATA
Filter
---------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose: Converts a file of machine language code into a file
of BASIC DATA statements. The data file may be merged
into BASIC programs, thus simplifying the process of
using machine language subroutines in BASIC.
Format: COM2DATA [<infile] [>outfile] [linenumber]
Type: Internal External
***
Remarks: If a line number is given, COM2DATA numbers the
statements beginning with the specified number,
otherwise the numbering starts with 1000.
COM2DATA acts as a standard DOS 2.0 filter, reading a
COM file from STDIN and writing a file of BASIC data
statements to STDOUT.
This utility is supplied in source code form, suitable
for input to CHASM. You must assemble it before use.
Beginners may wish to study the source listing for
some more advanced programming examples than provided
by EXAMPLE.ASM. COM2DATA demonstrates approaches to
such arcane topics as numeric I/O conversion, reading
the DOS command line, and DOS 2.0 I/O redirection.
This program requires DOS 2.0, and will abort under
earlier versions.
