Here's one for the Piclist - I can't answer this since I don't have
access to a PICSTART. Our compiler produces hex files in a format that
I believe is generally known as INHX8M - i.e. two bytes per PIC word,
with the upper bits of the second byte unused. MPLAB has no problems
with this. We also produce a .COD file. What does the PICSTART accept?
