NAME

       data2inc - Free Pascal binary to pascal include file converter.

SYNOPSIS

       data2inc [-ABSVH] msgfile [incfile] [constname]

DESCRIPTION

       data2inc  reads  a  binary  or  text  file  and  converts it to a pascal typed constant declaration.  The
       constant is an array of characters (zero based), in which each character's ascii value is  the  value  of
       the  byte at the offset index in the binary file. (index is the index in the array). If the input file is
       a text file, options will be read from the file and an output file will be  generated  according  to  the
       options encountered.

USAGE

       data2inc  with  the  -B option accepts a filename of a binary file, and needs the name of an include file
       and constant name. The output is written to incfile The name of the constant constname is mandatory for a
       binary file.

       data2inc  without  -B  option  takes the name of a message description file as input. It will process the
       message file and write the output as described in the message file to incfile

OPTIONS

       data2inc has a small number of options to control its behaviour:

       -A     Write bytes instead of characters. The constant array will be an array of byte instead of an array
              of char.

       -B     If this option is given, the msgfile will be treated as a binary file.

       -H     emit a small helptext.

       -S     data2inc will write the output as an array of strings, or a 2 dimensional array of characters.

       -V     Show the version number and exit.
