Extra tools for conversions.

[hutch--]

I have rewritten MULTITOOL to handle both UNICODE conversions and text data conversions as they both use the same type of interface. Included in the zip file is the current version of BIN2DBEX and in combination this puts 7 useful conversions within easy reach. Both tools accept a command line number to specify the required function at startup and are designed to be placed on the menu of QE or similar editors that can handle external tools.

For the addition of the following lines of text in MENUS.INI,

Code Select Expand


[Conversions]
Text to DW UNICODE,{e}\multitool.exe 1
Text to API UNICODE,{e}\multitool.exe 2
-
Text to DATA,{e}\multitool.exe 3
Text to DB format,{e}\multitool.exe 4
Text to HEX format,{e}\multitool.exe 5
-
Binary to DB Compacted,{e}\bin2dbex.exe 1
Binary to DB HEX,{e}\bin2dbex.exe 2


You get a menu that looks something like this.

Hi Hutch,

I added the lines to the end of menus.ini and copied the files to masm directory.

I expected a new Top-line menu option called Conversions and there was none.

However, I did find all the menu options you showed us in the help area.

Nice tool for me, thanks.

Steve,

Just move the whole block to a location before the HELP menu taking note of the headings in square brackets.
