can find it here:</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Right now you have to provide the memory map. However, the
goal has always been to use the MAME virtual machine to pre-generate as much of
this as possible. I will work on that shortly. It is just a matter of wiring
the data together. </span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I probably have a few scripting errors in the generated
code. I&#8217;ll work through that shortly. Just wanted to release this right
now in case there is feedback that I can incorporate. </span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>It doesn&#8217;t do a lot of input checking yet. And for
people that write a lot of scripts, this is very basic stuff. However, it does
get one started. I find that I end up typing (or copying) the same initial code
over and over again. Hopefully this will save a little bit of time anyways. If
I figure out how to access a zip file via a C#/.NET object (I think I have one
that I can use), I&#8217;ll probably provide an online Fluke signature
generator. That may wait for &#8220;phase II&#8221; though. (It would also be
nice to let people &#8220;save their work&#8221; so that others could reuse the
same script.) </span></font></p>
