FILES.TXT THIS FILE MAKEHEX.COM The conversion programme to change a binary file into a .HEX file. MAKEHEX.TXT Instructions for MAKEHEX.COM MAKEHEX.HEX MAKEHEX.COM converted by itself into a .HEX file that can go through an ASCII-only E-mail system. Included as another example and as a convenience so YOU don't have to do it. MAKEHEX.DSC The DEBUG script that can be used at the other end to re-create MAKEHEX.COM, also included as an example and a convenience. MAKEMH.BAT A batch file that can re-create MAKEHEX.COM from MAKEHEX.DSC and MAKEHEX.HEX at some other site. To try this out, rename MAKEHEX.COM to have a different extension, run MAKEMH.BAT with DEBUG in your path and MAKEHEX.DSC and MAKEHEX.HEX in the current directory, and then use FC or an equivalent to compare the newly-created MAKEHEX.COM with the original renamed copy. They should be exactly the same. (Still another example and convenience.) EMPTY.XMP An empty file to demonstrate MAKEHEX error message for an empty file. TINY.XMP A tiny file that can be converted do demonstrate successful conversion without taking too much space. TOO-BIG.XMP A file full of junk (several copies of the old MAKEHEX.DOC) to show error message when MAKEHEX is asked to convert a file that is too large. Delete and substitute some other file if you have one larger than 65280 bytes if you want to save space. TEST.BAT A batch file that can be run to show the error messages generated by MAKEHEX and successful use without and with redirection to a .HEX file. Uses EMPTY.XMP, TINY.XMP, and TOO-BIG.XMP for the demonstration. If you deleted TOO-BIG.XMP, replace its name in this file with the name of some other file that is greater than 65280 bytes. Examples of converting two utilities with MAKEHEX and re-creating them at the receiving end: FFSKIP.COM An example .COM file. FFSKIP.TXT Documentation for FFSKIP.COM, ASCII FFSKIP.HEX FFSKIP.COM converted by MAKEHEX FFSKIP.DSC DEBUG script to change FFSKIP.HEX back into FFSKIP.COM FFSKIP.MH The steps used to be used with MAKEHEX and DEBUG to (a) create FFSKIP.HEX and FFSKIP.DSC, (b) transmit them, and (c) re-create FFSKIP.COM at the other end with DEBUG PEEK.COM Another example .COM file. PEEK.TXT Documentation for PEEK.COM, ASCII PEEK.HEX PEEK.COM converted by MAKEHEX PEEK.DSC DEBUG script to change PEEK.HEX back into PEEK.COM PEEK.MH The steps used to be used with MAKEHEX and DEBUG to (a) create PEEK.HEX and PEEK.DSC, (b) transmit them, and (c) re-create PEEK.COM at the other end with DEBUG
