this util converts any file (any size) to a db list or a c/pascal
array the command line is as follows:
  2ASM.EXE inputfile <options>
where inputfile is the file you want to convert (duh)
also, there are quite a lot of options:
/f filename   saves the output file as <filename>
              the default output file has the same name as your
              inputfile but has a .ASM/C/PAS extension, depending
              on what kind of conversion you selected (read ahead)
/a filename   appends the output to <filename>
              this can be useful if you want to use more than one
              file in your program
/v varname    uses <varname> as the variable name
              the default varname of the binfile is the name of
              the inputfile, having the dot repaced by an
              underscore so for example: blerg.pcx will be
              blerg_pcx
/s size       makes the total size of the array <size> bytes
              this can be useful if you want to re-use the memory
              where the data is stored in for other things this
              option has no effect in pascal mode
/c            saves the data as an array in a .C file for use with
              C/C++
/p            saves the data as an array in a .PAS file for use
              with Pascal
/h            writes a header/footer in the output file so that
              it's ready to compile. in ASM mode, it writes a
              header for a Watcom ASM (WASM) file.
/d            writes decimal values instead of hexadecimal values
/o            writes octal values instead of hexadecimal values
              this option doesn't work in pascal mode
/y            automatically overwrites the output file if it
              exists can be useful for makefiles
/?            gives info about 2asm and how to contact me

so what did i write this prog for?
i just got sick of other programs that do the same, but having no
options like this one does.. i had to change stuff by myself all
the time..
and it took loooooooong for them to convert
so i decided to write my own prog, and then i thought hey, why
not release it?! so i put in some options that i will personally
never use, but that can be useful for other ppl, wrote some
samples, and this infofile.. and i guess i'm done now. and i'm
pretty happy with the result :)
anyway, if i can make more people happy by adding some options i
hadn't thought of, don't hesitate to email me. also any commens,
remarks, money or other stuff is welcome at sneaqo@cooldesign.net

and now lets go for a dislaimer:
