- `-b` Selects the next file in the command line as the _boot_ file,
the file will be loaded when the computer boots, and must be
in the standard Atari binary file format.
The bootloader for 128 bytes per sector uses addresses from
$700 to $965, and the bootloader for 256 bytes per sector uses
addresses from $700 to $A50.
The bootloader for 128 bytes per sector needs 613 bytes, from $700 to
$965, and the bootloader for 256 bytes per sector needs 848 bytes, from
$700 to $A50, both can be relocated with the `-B` option.

- `-x` Output image with exact sector count for all available content.
This will use non-standard sector counts, and return images with
128 bytes per sector if the image is smaller than about 8MB.

- `-s` Specify the minimum size of the output image, in bytes. The image
will be of this size or larger instead of the smaller possible.
This allows creating images with available free space.

- `-B` Specify the page (high part of address) of the start of the bootloader.
Use this option to load games or other software with a low loading
address that conflicts with the standard address of the bootloader. A
safe value is from page 6 instead of the default page 7, but page 4 or
5 is also possible.

- `-h` Shows a brief help.

- `-v` Shows version information.

To place files inside a sub-directory, simply add the directory *before*
all the files inside that directory.

The resulting image will be the smaller size that fits all the given files,
