Hi Everyone - Guess what I just finished writing version 1.2 of? :) Yep - now, the COMET to ASCII program I wrote way-back, can do the reverse - so as well as producing neat ASCII renditions of your COMET source, it can produce lovely COMET renditions of any ASCII Z80 source file you care to throw at it.
Features include: Automatic input format detection (No line terminators / CR / LF line termination) Numeric format conversion: Converts between prefixed hex format (0x0000), prefixed octal (010), postfixed binary, hex and octal (eg 01010b, 0FA32h, 034o) and COMET formats. Octal is converted to hexadecimal by the program. Hash code conversion (converts #'s to &'s at the start of hex numbers) Converts INCBIN to MDAT, INCLUDE to INC, DB, DW, DM and DS to DEFB, DWFW, DEFM and DEFS. If anyone can come up with some more features to add, lemme know. This'll be put up on the FTP site probably tomorrow morning, under the title "COMET2A.TD0". Full instructions, etc are in the file. There will also be a PAK version, but this will not include the QDOSv1.2 update which comes as part of the COMET2ASCII disk package. This software is a freeware Entropy release. Bug reports, etc (there shouldn't be any - but there is an interesting anomaly where if you pass the file through COMET->ASCII and then through ASCII-> COMET, it'll strip any erroneous spacing. Probably something to do with the number conversion routines). should be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cheers, Simon (Cookie of Entropy). +- Email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ---- Fidonet: 2:250/124.2 (Simon Cooke) -+ | Snail:1 Dovey Close, Astley, Tyldesley, Manchester, M29 7NP, UK | | Tel: (01942) 886084 Fax: (01942) 886084 (ring voice first to confirm!)| +- WWW: http://jumper.mcc.ac.uk/~simonc ----------------------------------+ ANNOUNCING the Your Sinclair WWW Archive: http://jumper.mcc.ac.uk/~simonc/ys Warning: Currently under construction in some places
