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

24 data2inc with the -B option accepts a filename of a binary file, and
25 needs the name of an include file and constant name. The output is
26 written to incfile The name of the constant constname is mandatory for
27 a binary file.
28
29 data2inc without -B option takes the name of a message description file
30 as input. It will process the message file and write the output as
31 described in the message file to incfile

36 data2inc has a small number of options to control its behaviour:
37
38
39 -A Write bytes instead of characters. The constant array will be an
40 array of byte instead of an array of char.
41
42 -B If this option is given, the msgfile will be treated as a binary
43 file.
44
45 -H emit a small helptext.
46
