LDA to .ol converter

(1 / 1)


	To use it, first define a symbol:

	LTO*ol :== $ UTL$EXE:LTOOL
   then use it as:
	ltool frob fraz			To convert frob.lda to fraz.ol
  or	ltool frob			To convert frob.lda to frob.ol
  or	ltool -s "$$seg9" frob		To do frob, but put it in section 9
	etc...

The following is from the program source in sys$userdisk:[Albaugh.TI320]:
/* 			LTOOL
*	Reads a .LDA format file and converts to Intermetrics ".ol" form
*	to allow it to be linked with other code, e.g. for downloading
*	into TomCat or other 68000 systems or burning ROMs. The .LDA file
*	contains word data, but	addresses increase by only one for each
*	word. The output file is intended to be linked with 68000 code, so
*	it is by default located in section TICODE. (changed for $$seg9).
*	A different name can be specified with the -s  switch to
*	allow closer control of the location in memory (with a .lc file).
*	Two global symbols are defined: TMSCODE is the base address of the
*	block of memory. TMSEND is the length of the block IN WORDS, minus
*	one, to be convenient for DBF loops.
*/

	Questions cheerfully refunded--
