Files of this type and auxiliary type contain OMF for the Apple IIgs.
_____________________________________________________________________________

Files of type $BC contain data that is to be loaded by one of the Apple IIgs 
Loaders (either the System Loader or ExpressLoad).  No other information about 
the data is known.  Load files which do not fit other load file type 
definitions ($B3-$BD) should be of type $BC.  The most common use for files of 
type $BC are code modules.

The following auxiliary type assignment is current for this file type as of 
the publication date of this Note:

    Auxiliary Type    Short Name             Developer
    ____________________________________________________
    $0000             Load file (generic)    any
    $4001             Nifty List Module      DAL Systems
    ____________________________________________________

            Table 1-Auxiliary Type Assignments

Note that auxiliary type $0000 is listed as "any" developer.  You may create 
and use files of $BC and auxiliary type $0000 as you wish; Apple does not 
maintain a specific assignment for this auxiliary type.  However, if you use 
auxiliary type $0000, you must not identify your files exclusively by it.  
Many load files can share this auxiliary type, and it alone is not suitable 
for file content identification.  Apple allows the free use of auxiliary type 
$0000 since load files must have a load file type and often further 
identification is not necessary.

Also note that auxiliary type $0000 is reserved in other file types; you may 
not use auxiliary type $0000 in other file types without assignment from 
Developer Technical Support.
