The size of this type of file is calculated by
size of existing C Executor program file +
directory entry size (16 + number of data file * 32 bytes) +
total size of all data files
and the F-ROM memory blocks of 128KB unit is allocated to the file.
This type of file is suited to store the data closely related to the
C Executor program, screen data for example.
For both types C Executor data file, C Executor application program opens a
C Executor data file by specifying file identification name ,"CEXnxxxx" or
"CEX xxxM", then selects and reads one of the data files in it.
In the directory entry, the "8.3 format" file name, data size and origin
address in F-ROM file for each MS-DOS files are stored. C Executor
application program can read the contents of this directory entry.
There are no specific limitations for the size or type of the MS-DOS data
file which is converted by this utility. The contents of the MS-DOS data
file is stored in the C Executor data file as it is.
