Using .BIN by $INLINE

[Martin Kropfinger]

I am working on an old program written in TurboBasic and
older versions of PowerBasic.
I now have PowerBasic 3.5 and have the problem that there are
passages:
$INLINE "filename.BIN"

I have those .BIN files, but I have the problem that
PowerBasic3.5 does not support $INLINE followed by a filename.
I don't have a source of those .BINs.
Is there a way to bring these files in my program?

I don't have an older version of the compiler.

Thanx

$INLINE "file.com" is supported by PB/DOS 3.5, but that metastatement must be used within a SUB INLINE block. Please refer to Page 269 in the Reference Guide.

Also, there is a utility called INLN2ASM.EXE in the \PB35 directory - that may help you convert your inline code.

I already tried this, but the files I have are .bin files and no .com.
Because of that I had no luck doing it.

In this instance, the file extension is probably arbitrary. Try changing it.
