Lyxner and Newlynx are ROM-image-builder, both for the most common Lynx-ROM
size of 256KB.

Both programs create either an image-file (.LYX) or send the data via
centronics to a RAM-card (which have only 4 guys ;-).
The file-image must be filled up with zeros till the end or you have to
disable the checksum.

Change byte $307(NEWLYNX) or $4FD (LYNXER2) of the image from $F0 into $80.

How to use ?

Simplest way is to draw & drop a compiled program (*.o) on the TTP.
It will load first a file named "INSERT.O" which is (now) provided with the
BLL.ZIP.
INSERT.O is the title sprite.(see LYNX_ASM\INSERT.ASM)
This file should be in the same folder as you program or you have to
set the start-up path for LYNXER (NEWLYNX) : Application rather than
top window !

The more complicated way is to build a .MAK file with following 'rules':

1) comments start with a ";" anywhere in a line.
2) List up all files you want into the image.
   The first file found will be the title-sprite (so be sure it _is_ one).
   The second file must be executable, it's the main-program.
   The third till 63th file maybe what ever you want.

!!! Executable files will be include with their header, but the pointer
shows behind it !!

3) To align the next-file on a block-boundary use : '#ALIGN'

4) To load a file use FILE.INC !!!!

Difference between LYNXER and NEWLYNX

NEWLYNX has a new kind of header which is smaller than the old one and
 - IMHO - is the smallest version of the Troian Horse.

LYNXER4 creates 512KB-images !
