[abc80] How to load .bac files into an ABC80/800 emulator?

Thanks Erik!

How can we create a dsk image for the ABC80 automatically? We can just store .bac files manually into .dsk images.

It would be cool to have similar tools for the ABC800. We can compile code for the ABC800 but we cannot
get it into an emulator or real computer in its raw binary format.

I have some tools in C and Perl:

https://www.zytor.com/pub/abc80/

... and ...

https://git.zytor.com/fpga/abc80/abc80.git/tree/data

... the latter includes bin2bac.pl, bin2abs.pl and bin2poke.pl.  The former
supports relocation. The source code for the assembly snippets that run the
whole thing are in bacldr.asm and bacldrr.asm.

ABC800 has a completely different .bac format, but it is actually a *lot*
simpler; it doesn't require post-load compaction of any kind.  I haven't had
time to write a tool for it, but I described it in an earlier post to this
mailing list.
