SYNOPSIS
========

chkrom [**-disassemble**] **rom-image**

DESCRIPTION
===========

**chkrom** reads a *raw* Atari 8-bit ROM image (not a **.car** file)
and prints the run address, init address, and the decoded flags in the
cartridge options byte.

Sample run::

  $ chkrom basic.rom
  chkrom v1.00 (c) 1998-1999 Jindrich Kubec <kubecj@asw.cz>
  ROM file:  basic.rom
  Init Addr :BFF0
  Run Addr  :A000
  Flags     :0500 ( INIT&RUN BOOT )
  Ok!

**chkrom** only supports images exactly 8KB (8192 bytes) or 16KB
(16384 bytes). Bankswitched cartridge aren't supported. If you get
"Unknown ROM size", make sure you're using a raw image. If it's a
**.car** image, use **cart2rom**\(1) to make a raw image of it.

OPTIONS
=======

**-disassemble**
  Prints a disassembly of the entire cartridge.

EXIT STATUS
===========

Zero for success, non-zero for failure.
