+.SH NAME
+cart \- convert raw Atari 8-bit ROM images to Atari800 CART files.
+.\" RST source for cart(1) man page. Convert with:

+.\" rst2man.py comes from the SBo development/docutils package.

+.SH SYNOPSIS

+.sp
+cart \fB\-l\fP

+cart \fB\-p\fP \fIromfile\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+\fBcart\fP creates an Atari800 CART image file from a raw Atari 8\-bit ROM
+image file by adding a 16\-byte \fBCART\fP header.
+.sp
+The \fIromfile\fP is a file containing a raw Atari 8\-bit ROM image
+dump. It must be of the correct size for the \fIcarttype\fP argument
+(e.g. for type 1, "Standard 8KB cartridge", the file must be exactly
+8192 bytes).
+.sp
+Output is written to \fIcartfile\fP\&. This must be a different filename
+from \fIromfile\fP (in\-place conversion is not supported). \fIcartfile\fP will
+be exactly 16 bytes longer than \fIromfile\fP (e.g. for type 1, it will be
+8208 bytes).
+.sp
+The \fIcarttype\fP argument is numeric, one of the supported types. The
+list can be viewed with \fBcart \-l\fP\&. If you\(aqre not sure of the correct
+type for a given ROM, you can narrow it down by running \fBcart \-p\fP
+\fIromfile\fP, which will show all the possible types that match the size
+of the ROM.
+.sp
+There is no corresponding tool to convert a CART image back to a raw
+ROM file, but this can be done with e.g. \fBdd\fP(1):
+.INDENT 0.0
+.INDENT 3.5
