Data2inc is the result of integration of several such programs and is quite
old (late nineties) because they shared many routines (this was all before
strutils and hex/bin/oct functionality in inttostr etc existed). Yes the
bulk of the code is for other things, but I always used it for the straight
case.

IIRC Michael didn't know it, so he wrote bin2obj.
