> MPASM can generate object files in any format you want, including INHX16 > and INHX32. ... No, MPASM uses some sort of private format for object files that are definitely not HEX files. HEX files were originally intended for prom programmer use, so they only contain address and data information. Object files need to contain relocatable and other linker input information. Try looking at a .O file with notepad or something. It's not even a text file. MPASM only creates HEX files when producing absolute code. ***************************************************************** Olin Lathrop, embedded systems consultant in Devens Massachusetts (978) 772-3129, olin@cognivis.com, http://www.cognivis.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
