>divide address by two, other mysteries

There are two Intel file formats that can be used to store PIC binary
code. One is INHX8M and the other is INHX16. Unfortunately the tools
default to INHX8M which is a strange format. Use INHX16 instead imho, as
it is easier to understand. INHX16 stores NN words of 16 bits each per
record, and the addresses are calculated as expected. The checksum is
still performed on 8 bits however ! (using the higher and lower bytes of
each word separately like: word=HHhh cksum+=((HH+hh)%0x100) )
