See \f[CW]www.needhams.com/winman.pdf\fP for more information. (This format is very similar to the ASCII-Hex format, but without the ^B and ^C guard characters.) .PP Each data byte is represented as 2 hexadecimal characters, and is separated by white space from all other data bytes. .LP The address for data bytes is set by using a sequence of \f[CW]$A\fP\f[CI]nnnn\fP\f[CW],\fP characters, where \fInnnn\fP is the 8-character ascii representation of the address. The comma is required. There is no need for an address record unless there are gaps. Implicitly, the file starts a address 0 if no address is set before the first data byte. .SS Size Multiplier In general, binary data will expand in sized by approximately 3.0 times when represented with this format. .\" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ .br .ne 2i .SH EXAMPLE Here is an example ascii-hex file.
