-This is a collection of Atari 8-bit related utilities I've written for Linux.
-They should be usable as-is on other UNIX-like systems, including Cygwin
-for MS-Windows.
-
-a8eol - Convert Atari 8-bit text files to/from UNIX / DOS / Mac Classic
- text file format.
-
-a8utf8 - Convert Atari 8-bit text to UTF-8 encoded Unicode.
-
-axe - ATR/XFD Editor. Copy files into & out of ATR and XFD images,
- create blank ATR images, etc.
-
-atr2xfd - Convert an Atari 8-bit ATR disk image to a raw (XFD) image.
-
-atrcheck - Check an Atari 8-bit ATR disk image for various types of problems.
-
-atrsize - Change the size of an Atari 8-bit ATR disk image, or create
- a blank ATR image.
-
-blob2c - Create C source and header files from a binary file.
-
-blob2xex - Create a XEX file from arbitrary data.
-
-cart2rom - Convert an Atari800 CART image to a raw ROM image.
-
-cart2xex - Convert an Atari 8-bit ROM cartridge image to a binary load
- (XEX) file.
-
-dasm2atasm - Convert 6502 assembly in DASM syntax to ATASM (or MAC/65) format.
-
-fenders - Install Fenders 3-sector loader in boot sectors of an ATR image.
-
-rom2cart - Convert a raw Atari 8-bit cartridge ROM image to a CART
- image for use with emulators such as Atari800.
-
-unmac65 - Detokenize Atari 8-bit Mac/65 SAVEd files.
-
-xex1to2 - Convert an Atari DOS 1.0 executable into a standard XEX file.
-
-xexamine - Show information on XEX files.
-
-xexcat - Concatenate Atari 8-bit executables (XEX) into a single XEX file.
-
-xexsplit - Split a multi-segment Atari 8-bit executable (XEX) into
- multiple single-segment files.
-
-xfd2atr - Convert an Atari 8-bit XFD (raw) disk image to an ATR image.
-
-All are written in C, except a8utf8 and dasm2atasm which are written
-in Perl. All utilities have man pages.
-
-Also included is "equates.inc", a 6502 assembly header file that defines
-the Atari 8-bit system equates. It's meant to be used with either the
-DASM or ATASM 6502 cross assemblers.
-
-To install, use the standard "make && make install" process. The default
-prefix for installation is /usr/local.
-
-You may use "make install PREFIX=/somewhere/else" to install somewhere
-other than /usr/local. Binaries will be installed to $PREFIX/bin, man
-pages to $PREFIX/share/man/man1, and other documentation (including
-equates.inc) to $PREFIX/share/doc/bw-atari8-tools. You also may use
-BINDIR, MANDIR, MAN1DIR, and DOCDIR to explicitly set the installation
-paths. Man pages are compressed with gzip by default. If your system
-does not support gzipped man pages, try "make install GZIP_MAN=n". If
-you're creating a distribution package (RPM, deb, Slackware tgz),
-use "make install PREFIX=/usr DESTDIR=/tmp/whatever". This will
-build everything for use in /usr, but actually install everything to
-/tmp/whatever/usr, which can then be archived in whichever package
-format you're using.
-
-blob2c is not actually Atari-specific: it could be useful for any project
-where the contents of a file need to be compiled as an unsigned char
-array in a C program.
-
-dasm2atasm is not Atari-specific, since the DASM and ATASM cross
-assemblers can be used to develop code for any 6502-based platform
-(though ATASM does have some nice extra features for the Atari 8-bit).
-DASM supports several other CPUs besides the 6502, but dasm2atasm only
-works with 6502 code.
-
-The latest version of bw-atari8-tools can always be found at
-https://slackware.uk/~urchlay/repos/bw-atari8-tools
