On Microchip assembler, org to 2100h and use 'de' directives to define
the data for the EEPROM.  In the hex file, the EEPROM data is still
stored 16 bits at a time, but the high 8 bits are always 0.  Directives
other than 'de' also place data in the program space but tend to place
meore than 8 bits in each word.  Undoubtably Hi-Tech C has a way to
inline things at known locations as well.

Once the data is in the hex file at this 'magic' location, the programmer
(if it supports this mode) will write it to the EEPROM.  You could use
Microchip assembler to make a file which contains only EEPROM data and
either program it to the chip seperately or splice the two hex files
together.
