Data2inc is the result of integration of several such programs and is quite old (late nineties) because they shared many routines (this was all before strutils and hex/bin/oct functionality in inttostr etc existed). Yes the bulk of the code is for other things, but I always used it for the straight case. IIRC Michael didn't know it, so he wrote bin2obj. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
