this atari file detection is buggy. If there's a "bra" instruction at the start of the binary IRA may detect it as an Atari ST (and deletes the file as a bonus bug!!)

-binary switch is overridden by the Atari ST detection... which isn't supported...

My workaround is to change the first byte of the binary file to 0. But changing to e.g. $67 so bra => beq could be even better (and restore bra manually)

Even with the bugs, IRA remains an invaluable tool for me.
