Hm, I admit I simply didn't know about them long time ago, when creating
file_to_pascal_xxx utilities in PasDoc:)
Looking at them now:
1. They both have quite longer code than our simple
file_to_pascal_string.dpr / file_to_pascal_data.dpr...
In particular data2inc wants to do much more (being able to process a
special file format like data2inc.exm). Although it can do the simple
thing when invoked with -b option.
Data2inc is the result of integration of several such programs and is quite
old (late nineties) because they shared many routines (this was all before
strutils and hex/bin/oct functionality in inttostr etc existed). Yes the
bulk of the code is for other things, but I always used it for the straight
case.
IIRC Michael didn't know it, so he wrote bin2obj.
Exactly.
Michael.
