NAME

       srec_cosmac - RCA Cosmac Elf file format

DESCRIPTION

       This file takes the form of one or more RCA Cosmac Elf monitor commands, also known as the IDIOT/4 monitor.  Only the change memory command
       (!M) is allowed.

       The general form of the !M command takes the form
	      !Maaaa dd ... dd
       The !M command writes data byte bytes (represented by character pairs dd) into successive memory locations, started at address aaaa.   Spa-
       ces between data bytes are ignored.

       Using the comma (,) line continuation character resumes from the next address in sequence.
	      !Maaaa dd ... dd, dd ... dd

       Using the semicolon (;) line continuation character takes an address on the next line
	      !Maaaa dd ... dd; aaaa dd ... dd

       It is also possible to have the semicolon immediately after the command.
	      !M; aaaa dd ... dd

       All of these forms may be used in combination.

   Size Multiplier
       In general, binary data will expand in size by approximately 2.0 times when represented with this format.

EXAMPLE

       Here is an example Cosmac file.	It contains the data "Hello, World[rq] to be loaded at address 0x1000.

NAME

       srec_fairchild - Fairchild Fairbug file format

DESCRIPTION

       The Fairchild Fairbug format has 8-byte records.  A file begins with an address record and ends with an end-of-file record.

       There are three record types in this file format.

       Address records are of the form

								       +--+------+
								       |S | nnnn |
       indicating the address for the following data records.	       +--+------+

       Data records are of the form

							       +--+------------------+---+
							       |X | ffffffffffffffff | c |
       Each  data  record  begins with an X and always contains+8-data-bytes.--The-ff+characters are hexadecimal byte values (8 bytes).  Each data
       byte is represented by 2 hexadecimal characters.  The c character is a hex digit being the the nibble-sum of the  data  bytes.	A  1-digit
       hexadecimal checksum follows the data in each data record.  The checksum represents, in hexadecimal notation, the sum of the binary equiva-
       lents of the 16 digits in the record; the half carry from the fourth bit is ignored.  The programmer  ignores  any  character  (except  for
       address	characters  and the asterisk character, which terminates the data transfer) between a checksum and the start character of the next
       data record. This space can be used for comments.

       The end-of-file record has the form

									   +--+
									   |* |
       The last record consists of an asterisk only, which indicates the end-of file.

   Size Multiplier
       In general, binary data will expand in sized by approximately 2.4 times when represented with this format.

EXAMPLE

       Here is an example Fairchild Fairbug file.  It contains the data "Hello, World[rq] to be loaded at address 0x1000.   Notice  how  the  last
       record is padded with 0xFF bytes.
