Just to be clear, this is wrong:
petcat -text -w2 -o out.seq in.txt
and it should be:
petcat -c -text -w2 -o out.seq in.txt
This would indicate that the help in PETCAT is wrong because doing --help indicates the following:
-c controls (interpret also control codes) <default if textmode>
So, if I use -text I should expect control codes to work, but obviously that's not the case. Perhaps if petcat reported it's options correctly I wouldn't have spent half an hour trying to figure out the secret combination and another hour writing TxtToSeq. However, it's done, it's released, and it works, so use it or not, I don't care. I do know I'll be using it in the future as I intend to expand it to do text to ATASCII and text to ANSI so there's value in it for me even if there's not any to anybody else. |

-c if you want to use control codes in the input file....
and it accepts regular uppercase in the input file ofcourse - they appear as hexcodes in the output because petcat is primarily made for converting basic programs forth and back, and in that case it is very important that under all circumstances converting the file forth and back results in the exact same binary - and uppercase letters are ambigous (check your petscii tables). |

ofcourse. PEBKAC is not an option. |

| BTW, the petcat output using {xxx} for the upper case characters is ludicrous. Who in their right mind is going to type a text file using the ASCII codes for upper case? TxtToSeq allows free-form upper/lower text. |

Output: (using groepaz's options)

So, either petcat is borked or it doesn't do what you think it does. |
