Re: Questions on EDASM reloc ($FE) files
Actually, a2central/syndicomm take care of file type assignment these
days... see file type note zero on a2central...
My opinion anyway - cc65 object code files are a significant enough
entity to deserve their own file type, or at least auxiliary type
within one of the existing types...
To me, reusing a type in a way that's unlikely to cause any problems is
just plain 'wrong', and really, doesn't save enough effort to make it
worthwhile 'polluting' the filetype space. If you try to use EDASM
tools on a cc65 object file it won't work, and the whole point of the
filetype scheme is to make it easy to identift the type of a file!
It does get kind of tricky to figure out 'correct' assignments...
There's three generations of
filetypes in the SOS/ProDOS filetype scheme... older types used up
primary type numbers wastefully as if didn't seem necessary to allocate
primary/seconday as became
the trend with GS/OS.
