It's Andy, first off.  Our IS dept doesn't think so, though...

They are programmed as part of the main memory with every programmer that I know
of.

The proper format is determined by your burner/compiler/assembler, but basically
it is ordinary data stored at some address (I forget what address that is).
Microchip has a standard for defining where EEPROM data is ORG'd, and I know
that Carmacon, HiTech, ByteCraft, Tech-Tools, and Microchip all follow that
standard.  I don't know about anybody else.

Best way to find out is to copy a '84 sample.

Andrew,
Thank you for the quick response. I was playing around with P16Pro, and
I can modify the memory locations one by one. Would these be programmed
at the same time I program the main memory? Also do you happen to know
the proper format to write a file will all those values in it? Thank you
very much for all your help.
