[Techtoolslist] 9010A Code Generator Question

[Matt Rossiter]

This is a very handy tool to work with when you want to do some quick 
tests.  I love it.

I have just one itty bitty suggestion, unless I'm just doing something 
wrong.  When you generate a test script for a game, say Tempest, the ROM 
Program names it automatically creates are generally "illegal" when they 
are compiled through FIDE.  I guess it has to be a certain length?  So, I 
just have to edit each ROM program name so that it can compile the script 
and send it to the troubleshooter.  For example, I would normally take a 
generated name like 136002123 and manually change it to ROM123.

James, would it be possible to add an optional function that could 
automatically truncate the ROM Program names?  Maybe have something where 
it adds "rom" to the beginning and the last 3 or 4 characters of the rom 
name to the end?  I don't mind doing it manually, or maybe come up with a 
script of my own, but that would be super cool.
