+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.sp

+.sp
+mkcart \-cCARTFILE
+.sp
+mkcart \-xRAWFILE CARTFILE
+.sp
+mkcart \-l
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+A companion tool to \fIdasm(1)\fP, mkcart can:
+.INDENT 0.0
+.IP \(bu 2
+convert one or more \fIdasm(1)\fP raw (\-f3) object files to a CART image
+format for use with emulators such as \fIatari800(1)\fP\&.
+.IP \(bu 2
+convert a CART image back to a raw image.
+.IP \(bu 2
+check the integrity and report information about a CART image.
+.UNINDENT
+.SH OPTIONS
+.INDENT 0.0
+.TP
+.BI \-t\fB TYPE
+Cartridge type (1\-67, see \fI\-l\fP for list), default = guess (poorly!).
+Only used in \-o mode.
+.TP
+.BI \-o\fB CARTFILE
+Create CARTFILE from RAWFILE(s). \fI\-t\fP optional but highly
+recommended.
+.TP
+.BI \-c\fB CARTFILE
+Check integrity of file (header, checksum, and size).
+.TP
+.BI \-x\fB RAWFILE
+Create raw binary from CARTFILE (remove header).
+.TP
+.B \-l
+List all supported \-t types with their sizes in
+bytes and their human\-readable names, and exit.
+.UNINDENT
+.sp
+\-?, \-h       Show built\-in help message.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.nf
+# a standard 8KB cartridge:
+dasm example.asm \-f3 \-oexample.bin
+mkcart \-oexample.cart \-t1 example.bin
+.fi
+.sp
+.nf
+# a bankswitched OSS 16KB cartridge:
+dasm bank1.asm \-f3 \-obank1.bin
+dasm bank2.asm \-f3 \-obank2.bin
+mkcart \-oexample.cart \-t15 bank1.bin bank2.bin
+.fi
+.sp
+.SH EXIT CODES
+.sp
+With \-o and \-x, mkcart will exit with status \fI0\fP if it was able
+to complete the conversion, or \fI1\fP if something went wrong.
+.sp
+With \-c, mkcart will exit with status \fI0\fP if the image is OK (has a
+valid header, known type, good checksum, etc), or \fI1\fP if not.
+.SH BUGS
+.sp
+With \-o and \-x, the input files are opened, read, and closed twice:
+once to calculate the checksum and verify that there\(aqs enough data, then
+the header is written and the input files are re\-opened and reread. Bad
+Things will probably happen if any of the input files change in between
+the two passes.
+.sp
+The \-x option should split bankswitched cartridges into multiple raw
+images instead of one combined image. Workaround: use \fIsplit(1)\fP
+or \fIdd(1)\fP to split the raw image into bank\-sized chunks:
+.nf
+mkcart \-xmac65.bin mac65.cart
+.fi
+.sp
+.nf
+# split into mac65.bank00 and mac65.bank01
+split \-b8192 mac65.bin mac65.bank
+.fi
+.sp
+.nf
+# same thing, with dd
+dd if=mac65.bin of=mac65.bank00 bs=1024 count=8
+dd if=mac65.bin of=mac65.bank01 bs=1024 count=8 skip=8
+.fi
+.sp
+.sp
+Either way, you have to know the bank size (usually 8 or 16 KB), which
+is less than ideal.
