ASLOD(1)

NAME
aslod - ACK simple loader

SYNOPSIS
aslod [-h] [-v] [-p prefixfile] inputfile outputfile

DESCRIPTION
aslod converts an absolute ack.out file into a simple binary memory dump. It is suitable for producing RAM images, executables for simple operating systems such as CP/M, DOS, etc.

The input file must contain exactly four segments: TEXT, ROM, DATA and BSS, in that order, all occupying contiguous memory. The file must have all references resolved and be linked to a fixed address. aslod will dump the segments, in order, such that the first byte of TEXT is at offset 0 in the file (regardless of where it is in memory).

If a prefix file is specified, this is prepended to the output before writing. No changes to the output itself are made.
