SCLINK - Scenery Linker for SCASM output files - 1.0
----------------------------------------------------

Purpose of SCLINK
-----------------

The Scenery Assembler SCASM can only handle one latitude range per output
file. Also all sections in the same output file has the same latitude range.
With SCLINK you can link together several small *.BGL files (one per latitude
range). I think this will give you more flexibility in scenery devellopment
since you do not need to assemble/compile all source files after changing one
of them.

Syntax:
-------

	SCLINK [-options] output.bgl input1.bgl ... input#.bgl

	or

	SCLINK ctrlfile.ext

If only one command line parameter is present it must be the name of a
control file which contains more parameter/names. The control file may
contain one option or filename per line. Comment lines are allowed if they
start with a ';' character.

Atention: The first filename is always the name of the output file.

Options must begin with a '-' sign and should appear in the command line or
the control file before the file names.
	-t#	the following number is the BGL file type (ID). This is a
		number 1...4 and is normaly filled in by SCLINK. SCLINK scanns
		all input files and choses the lowest number.
	-ctext	You can enter one line of copyright text to be included in
		the destination file. 

Limitations:
------------
The current version can only handle 30 files. (make sure your FILES=xx in
the CONFIG.SYS is not lower.
The latitude records are not sorted.
Only known sections can be linked together.
There is a known problem when linking the Airport-Menu section. If more than
one file has menu headers the result depends on the order of the input
files. In the worst case you will find some start positions under the wrong
menu header.

Errors:
-------
If you get an error message like "cannot open..." and you are sure the file
to open is there, then please check the "FILES=??" line in your CONFIG.SYS
