Description:
------------
Atari file extractor.
This is just simple utility for extracting binary block in binary/atari binary
block formats.


Usage:
------
AExt [options] infile [outfile]

If outfile is not specified, prg.axe is assumed.

-s, -e, -n specify start, end or length parameters of block in hexadecimal
	numbers.

-oa creates atari binary block (start, end, data).

-base is used with -oa to create based binary block. (The number specifies 
	start address of block).

----------------
For scripts: Perl.

minor problems to port it to different architectures/environments.
Makefile should need only minor changes.
