It must be of the correct size for the *carttype* argument +(e.g. for type 1, "Standard 8KB cartridge", the file must be exactly +8192 bytes). + +Output is written to *cartfile*. This must be a different filename +from *romfile* (in-place conversion is not supported). *cartfile* will +be exactly 16 bytes longer than *romfile* (e.g. for type 1, it will be +8208 bytes). + +The *carttype* argument is numeric, one of the supported types. The +list can be viewed with **cart -l**. If you're not sure of the correct +type for a given ROM, you can narrow it down by running **cart -p** +*romfile*, which will show all the possible types that match the size +of the ROM. + +There is no corresponding tool to convert a CART image back to a raw +ROM file, but this can be done with e.g. **dd**\(1):: + + dd if=image.cart of=image.raw bs=1 skip=16 + +...or **head**\(1) and **cat**\(1):: + + cat image.cart | ( head -c16 >/dev/null ; cat ) > image.raw + +OPTIONS +======= + +-l Show the complete list of supported cartridge types. + +-p *romfile* + Show the list of cartridge types that match the size of *romfile*. + +COPYRIGHT +========= + +See the file /usr/doc/atari800-|version|/COPYING for license information. + +AUTHORS +======= + +**cart** is part of the **atari800**\(6) distribution.
