Back in the Days of Yore I wrote a program for RiscOS that  
automatically set the load/exec addresses for files from a *.inf style  
archive.

It was called "StampInf" and I think you can probably still find it  
The BBC Lives somewhere.

Obviously only of use if you have an Arc, which alas I no longer do.

(Claim to fame: I also wrote a game called RTGHAW which appeared on  
the Acorn User coverdisk, and a program called MavicaFS to read the  
munged disks created by Sony's Mavica cameras. Anyone ever use those? :)
