This program reads and writes Breville Control Freak programs and saved alarms, either from and to FA1 files or from and to a text representation.

The command line program reads a given set of files, merging all the Control Freak programs and alarms into alphabetical order of name, eliminating duplicates.

The program displays on the standard output a textual representation of the sorted list, first programs and then alarms, and optionally writes an FA1 file and/or a text file containing the textual representation.

The text representation accepted for input is the same as presented on output - that is, a sequence of lines, one program per line, with one of the three following formats:

program name | temperature in ºF | power level | hh:mm:ss | start control | after timer

program name | temperature in ºF | power level | 'off' or 'no timer'

alarm name | temperature in ºF

where:

• Power level is Low, Medium or High
• Start control is At Beginning, At Set Temperature, or At Prompt
• After timer control is Continue, Stop, Keep Warm, or Repeat

For example:

Butter (Clarified) | 240 | Slow | 0:20:00 | At Set Temperature | Keep Warm
Carrots (Caramelize) | 300 | Medium | no timer
Boiling | 212

The command line arguments are names of text or FA1 files to be read, and optionally output specs:

• -o|-output filename specifies the name of a binary output file
• -t|-text filename specifies the name of a text output file
• -ns do not sort the programs or alarms (but duplicates are still removed, and alarms written after programs)
