Convert ANY file to WinAsm friendly include file, small app to allow you to convert any file to a WinaASM friendly fomatted include file (db)

Attached is a badly written application I created to allow me to convert any file to a DB formatted, WinASM friendly, include file.

This is useful if you wish to include any type of binary file within your code rather than a resource file, it is a feature that I miss from my Atari/Amiga days when the 'Incbin' feature existed on HiSoft DevPack!

Should take files upto 4GB, although I have not tested files this large. I would only recommend its use on small files, as the output is over 5 times larger than the original.

Useage: Execute from Windows, use file bowser to firstly select the input file, then use file browser again to specify an output file.

Please note, it does not automatically add the .inc extension, you must do that!

Enjoy! Any problems or code modifications, please drop me a mail.

Colin.

you can look at fasm it has very nice directive "file": you can simply insert whole binary file with it or even selected bytes with "load" directive

Thanks Shoorick, as ever you are a wealth of information!

I think I need to move away from MASM and use FASM or SOL, both have some good features that appear to be missing from MASM32.

Thanks,

Colin.

Er, you can "convert" any file to db format to "embed" in your exe with MASM. Who says you can't? It has been around what, 20 something years..

Look in: \masm32\tools\bintodb and run the file called bintodb open a file and see what happens.

Small updating for the console ))

C:\>bin2db.exe
Usage: bin2db.exe [-h] infile outfile
