+# ELF to LE converter.
+
+this is awful code, but has worked for me.
+for more info check my site: https://ceionia.com/le-exe
+
+you can find an example project for this on my site: https://ceionia.com/git/lucia/rust-le-demo
+or on github: https://github.com/LCeionia/rust-le-demo
+
+usage is `elf2le INPUT_FILE`, outputs `a.exe` as LE output, intended for the DOS/32A extender, haven't tested on anything else. you can run the generated executable in DOS with `dos32a a.exe`, and can make a standalone executable with the `sc` utility provided by DOS/32A. file `new.elf` is used as an intermediate, so don't call something that in the working directory or it'll get overwritten.
+
+it doesn't support things that both formats support.
+the code is absolute awful spaghetti.
+i intended on doing something better or even just improving it but never did.
+may the code gods have mercy on me for releasing this.
