+S-Record Format
+
+ A file in Motorola S-record format is an ASCII file. There are three different
+ formats:
+
+ S19 for 16-bit address
+ S2 for 24-bit address
+ S3 for 32-bit address
+
+
+ The files consist of optional symbol table information, data specifications
+ for loading memory, and a terminator record.
+
+ [ $$ {module_record}
+ symbol records
+ $$ [ module_record ]
+ symbol_records
+ $$]
+ header_record
+ data_records
+ record_count_record
+ terminator_record
+
+
+Module Record (Optional)
+
+ Each object file contains one record for each module that is a component of it. This
+ record contains the name of the module. There is one module record for each relocatable
+ object created by the assembler. The name of the relocatable object module
+ contained in the record comes from the IDNT directive. For absolute objects created
+ by the linker, there is one module record for each relocatable object file linked,
+ plus an additional record whose name comes from the NAME command for the
+ linker.
+
+ Example:
+
+ $$ MODNAME
+
+
+Symbol Record (Optional)
+
+ As many symbol records as needed can be contained in the object module. Up to 4
+ symbols per line can be used, but it is not mandatory that each line contain 4
+ symbols. A module can contain only symbol records.
+
+ Example:
+
+ APPLE $00000 LABEL1 $ODOC3
+ MEM $OFFFF ZEEK $01947
+
+ The module name associated with the symbols can be specified in the
+ module_record preceding the symbol records.
+
+ Example:
+
+ $$MAIN
+
+ Symbols are assumed to be in the module named in the preceding module_record
+ until another module is specified with another module_record. Symbols defined by
+ the linker's PUBLIC command appear following the first module record, which
+ indicates the name of the output object module specified by the linker's NAME
+ command.
+
+
+*****************************************************************************************
+
+Header Record (SO)
+
+ Each object module has exactly one header record with the following format:
+
+ S00600004844521B
+
+ Description:
+
+ S0 Identifies the record as a header record
+ 06 The number of bytes following this one
+ 0000 The address field, which is ignored
+ 484452 The string HDR in ASCII
+ 1B The checksum
+
+
+
+*****************************************************************************************
+
+Data Record (S1)
+
+ A data record specifies data bytes that are to be loaded into memory. Figure 1
+ shows the format for such a record. The columns shown in the figure represent half
+ of a byte (4 bits).
+
+ ---------------------------------------------
+ | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ... 40 41 42 |
+ | |
+ | S ID byte load data...data checksum |
+ | count address 1 n |
+ ---------------------------------------------
+ Figure 1: Data Record Formatter 16-Bit Load Address
+
+
+ Column Description
+
+ 1 Contains the ASCII character S, which indicates the start of
+ a record in Motorola S-record format.
+
+ 2 Contains the ASCII character identifying the record type.
+ For data records, this character is 1.
+
+ 3 to 4 Contain the count of the number of bytes following this one
+ within the record. The count includes the checksum and the
+ load address bytes but not the byte count itself.
+
+ 5 to 8 Contain the load address. The first data byte is to be loaded
+ into this address and subsequent bytes into the next sequential
+ address. Columns 5 and 6 contain the high-order address
+ byte, and columns 7 and 8 contain the low-order address byte.
+
+ 9 to 40 Contain the specifications for up to 16 bytes of data.
+
+ 41 to 42 Contain a checksum for the record. To calculate this, take the
+ sum of the values of all bytes from the byte count up to the
+ last data byte, inclusive, modulo 256. Subtract this result
+ from 255.

+ into this address and subsequent bytes into the next sequential
+ address. Columns 5 and 6 contain the high-order address
+ byte, and columns 9 and 10 contain the low-order address byte.
+
+ 11 to 42 Contain the specifications for up to 16 bytes of data.
+
+ 43 to 44 Contain a checksum for the record. To calculate this, take the
