[Coco] Assembly .BIN -> .CCC/.ROM = SOLVED!

[Chad H]

I wrote a Windows tool that has the 25 assembly bytes embedded as a
resource.  It writes out the bytes and transfers the Game/Program .BIN in
where it needs to be automatically in <2 seconds.  Done, burn.

OK, that surely works fine. Some would maybe prefer to use for instance
lwasm to compile, and with the --raw option it will just a produce a file
with the actual assembled code, say LOADER.BIN. Then just merge this on the
Windows command line "COPY /B LOADER.BIN+GAME.BIN ROM.BIN". I don't know if
padding ROM.BIN is needed for your burner program. To pad I would use "dd"
on Linux, MacOSX or MinGW, don't know about any built-in Windows tools.
