RS-DOS binary segment manipulator (RBSM) v1.00

Usage: java rb/rbsm [filename.bin] [-X]
-X option will exit after processing file. Useful for looking at a bunch of files at one time
Example Ubuntu command line: find *.BIN -print -exec java rb/rbsm '{}' -X \;

Versatile utility to manipulate RS-DOS binary files, particularly those with multiple segments (load addresses)

Automatically scans, splits and saves out binary file as multiple segment files (filename.s)

Create an empty file named "keepsegments" inside of the working directory, and the program will preserve all of the *.s files after existing, useful for debugging purposes

Extract text screen into file
Add auto-start to program will start automatically after LOADM without needing EXEC
Remove auto-start added by RBSM

TODO Features (other, for advanced users)
Deep scan for oddball files

Custom scan - specify range for deep scan
Automatic or manual "back-to-back" segment condensing
TODO: Build binary files that load into multiple memory banks on Coco 3
