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.
