Questions on EDASM reloc ($FE) files

[Oliver Schmidt <ol.sc@web.de>]

Hi,

although I know that this is generally a bad idea I nevertheless think
about using this file type for Contiki programs. The reasons are:

1. Contiki programs ARE in fact relocatable code.
2. Contiki is a ProDOS 8 application and the BASIC.SYSTEM coming with
ProDOS 8 shows on CAT(ALAOG) an ugly '$xx' for most file types but a
nice REL for $FE files.

So beside my approch being "wrong" what are the real problems ? My
current thinking is that $FE is more of an intermediate file format
used solely by programmers using the EDASM toolkit - and thus they are
not existent on non-programmes machines. And/or EDASM is an ProDOS 8
tool and therefore might not come with an GS/OS icon file - which
could interfere with mine. And/or EDASM doesn't understand the ProDOS
8 startup file protocol anyway.

Thanks for any clarification/justification of my assumptions, Oliver
