See the \fBDETAILS\fP section of the +\fBunprotbas\fP(1) man page, to understand how the protection works. +.sp +\fBinput\-file\fP must be a tokenized (SAVEd) Atari BASIC program. Use +\fI\-\fP to read from standard input, but \fBprotbas\fP will refuse to +read from standard input if it\(aqs a terminal. +.sp +\fBoutput\-file\fP will be the protected tokenized BASIC program. If it +already exists, it will be overwritten. Use \fI\-\fP to write to standard +output, but \fBprotbas\fP will refuse to write to standard output if +it\(aqs a terminal (since tokenized BASIC is binary data and may confuse +the terminal). +.sp +The code protection works by adding a line 32767 to the program, with +a bad next\-line pointer. This will fail if there\(aqs already a line +32767. +.SH OPTIONS +.sp +Options may appear in any order. The first non\-option argument is used +for \fBinput\-file\fP; the second is \fBoutput\-file\fP\&. A third non\-option +argument is an error. +.SS Protection Options +.INDENT 0.0 +.TP +.B \fB\-nc\fP +Do not code\-protect the program; only protect the variable names. +.TP +.B \fB\-nv\fP +Do not protect the variable names; only code\-protect the program. +.TP +.B \fB\-s\fP +Shrink variable name table to minimum size, one byte per variable +name. Programs protected this way are very similar to ones +protected with \fBPROTECT.BAS\fP\&. +.TP +.B \fB\-xr\fP, \fB\-x\fP \fINN\fP +Character to use for variable name protection. \fINN\fP is the +character code in hex, e.g. \fB\-x20\fP to use a space. Default is +\fB9b\fP (the EOL character). \fB\-xr\fP means random codes. +.UNINDENT +.SS General Options +.INDENT 0.0 +.TP +.B \fB\-\-help\fP +Print usage message and exit. +.TP +.B \fB\-\-version\fP +Print version number and exit. +.TP +.B \fB\-v\fP +Verbose operation.
