You can use an existing project load file to generate the loader input file.
About this task
A load file defines a list of files that you want to load to the z/TPF file system with the MakeTPF build solution. When you create a TPF project, an empty
load file (.loadfile) is automatically added to the project. TPF Toolkit provides actions for you to add contents to a
project load file.
If you have a project load file that is populated with content, you can use the
oldr or tldr project build target to generate the loader input
file.
