Supplemental Files:

These files are available under /usr/share/a2pi and can either be compiled or work with the installed

tools to demonstrate their function.

bintomon:

Converting a binary file to a monitor input format can be accomplished with bintomon. The command

is run as:

bintomon <hex address> <filename> [IP addr]

standard output can be redirected to save the formatted text or piped into a2mon.

merlin2text:

If you develop on the Apple II, most likely you have had experience with the MERLIN assembler.

Great assembler for small projects, but it uses a high ASCII format and spaces instead of tabs. This

quick utility quickly reformats the MERLIN text into a unix palatable text file for your favorite editor.

Run as:

merlin2text < <prodosfile> > <unixfile>

text2merlin:

Reverses the process above to put the text file back on to ProDOS media.

text2merlin < <unixfile> > <prodosfile>

a2libc:

All the tools include a2lib.c as a very poor, cheesy, horrible, etc. way to implement the Apple II Pi

daemon API. Only useful if you are looking to write your own tool or modify the code of the existing

tools.

a2slideshow.mon:

Use with a2mon as:

a2mon < a2slideshow.mon

Press ESC to leave the slideshow. The slideshow is displayed on the Apple II screen, not the Pis's

screen.

a2slideshow.bin:

Use with brun as:

brun a2slideshow.bin 0x2000

Press ESC to leave the slideshow. The slideshow is displayed on the Apple II screen, not the Pis's

screen.
