'DEBUG ASM Converter Version 1.0a Rewrite 1

'(Real Name: Daniel Garlans) 
'This program is freeware. 
'You may use this code any way you like, just give me credit =] 
'Information on conversion from a FAQ by Ian Muskgrave (sorry if I misspelled) 
'My E-Mail Address: garlans@usa.pipeline.com 
'This converts DEBUG-ASM (debug < name.dbg > out.asm) into CALL ABSOLUTE strings 
'and saves them and code for use into an out file. 
'This is rewrite 1 because my first version was written at about 9:30 to 10:30 pm 
'and I was tired and so it was huge, messy and wasn't working, so the next day 
'I wrote it entirely from scratch :) 
'Absolutly needed in the file to convert from: 
'-U in a line to show where the HEX Code output started and -Q in a line to

'show what line the output ends on. Format of a converted line in result file: 
'ASM$=ASM$+whatevertoadd 'offset = xxxx:xxxx hex code:whateverthehexis 
'the ASM$ can be changed to whatever. 
'Sub Cp prints t$ in the center of row l! in 80 column text mode. 
'Have fun with this :) It's fully commented. 
'you can do whatever you want with it... 
'THINGS 2 KNOW: No error handling...Still some optimizing to do...quite fast... 
'can convert something like a 16k file (I don't have anything that big to test with)
