They (I know of Intel, Motorola, and a 6502 spinoff) usually start with a pre-designated character (':' for Intel), followed by destination address of rest of data, length of record, the actual data, and a checksum (I may have the order transposed). All the information is xmitted in hex aside from the attention character. It might be nice to use some format which is a kind of standard. Besides, I have machine language loaders for my C64 homebrew terminal emulator which use all these formats... Kirk Dunkelberger pur-ee
