NAME

       srec_formatted_binary - Formatted Binary file format

DESCRIPTION

       This is the PDP-11 paper tape format, described in the DEC-11-GGPC-D PDP-11 "Paper Tape Software Programming Handbook" 1972.

       The file starts with a character sequence which appears as an arrow when punched on 8-hole paper tape.
	      0x08, 0x1C, 0x2A, 0x49, 0x08, 0x00

       Then follows a byte count, encoded big-endian in the low 4 bits of the next 4 bytes.  The high bits should be zero.

       Then follows a 0xFF byte.

       The data follows, as many bytes as specified in the header.

       The trailer consists of the following bytes:
	      0x00, 0x00,
       and then a 2-byte checksum (big-endian).

       The alternate header sequence
	      0x08, 0x1C, 0x3E, 0x6B, 0x08, 0x00
       is followed by an 8-nibble big-endian byte count.

   Size Multiplier
       In general, binary data will expand in sized very little when represented with this format.

EXAMPLE

       Here is a hex dump of a formatted binary file containing the data "Hello, World!".
	      0000: 08 1C 2A 49 08 00 00 00  ..*I....
	      0008: 00 0E FF 48 65 6C 6C 6F  ...Hello
	      0010: 2C 20 57 6F 72 6C 64 21  , World!
	      0018: 0A 00 00 04 73	     ....s

NAME

       srec_spasm - SPASM file format

DESCRIPTION

       This  format  is  the  output  of the Paralax SPASM assembler (now defunct, I'm told).  The file contains two columns of 16-bit hexadecimal
       coded values.  The first column is the word address, the second column is the word data.

       By default, SRecord treats this is big-endian data (the most significant byte first).  If you want little endian order, use  the  -spasm-le
       argument instead.

   Size Multiplier
       In general, binary data will expand in sized by approximately 5.0 times when represented with this format (5.5 times in Windows).

EXAMPLE

       Here  is  an  example SPASM file.  It contains the data "Hello, World[rq] to be loaded at bytes address 0x0100 (but remember, the file con-
       tents are word addressed).
	      0080 6548
	      0081 6C6C
	      0082 2C6F
	      0083 5720
	      0084 726F
	      0085 646C
