Cram 0.9 Code J Pitts Concept A Amsel


This is a little utility I knocked up to jam Yaroze
data files in like sardines.  The final output of cram
is a C header file defining all you datafiles and an
upload batch file for siocons.

All you have to do is write a little script and run cram.


This is an example of a script.

;example script
[TIM]
file1.tim  FILE1   ;  comment
file2.tim  FILE2

[EXE]
;relocated to 80100000
main

[DATA]
level1.map LEVEL1

[VAB]
sound.vab  SOUND1

[CRAM]
header=output.h
batch=batch0
start=0x80090000,0x80100000  ; currently ignored, in next version

Technically TIM, DATA and VAB are identical, they all mean the same thing,
this is where all your datafiles go.  The first item is the datafile name
the second is the #define it will be called in your header file.

You will get a warning if cram can't find the file.
(it needs to get the file size you see).

The file in the [EXE] section will be placed at 0x80100000

The Cram section defines the output file names.

At the moment cram does not rejig the order of the files before
and after the EXE.

Please Email me if you use this.  I would like to head of problems and
any sugestions you may have.

Depending on feedback I may / may not develop this further.
