The INHX8M format, by definition, treats everything as bytes. The
14-bit value of each PIC instruction has to be expressed as two bytes
in the hex file.=20

The first PIC instruction (PIC address 0) occupies byte addresses 0
and 1, the second (PIC address 1) occupies byte addresses 2 and 3,
etc. This doubles the 'apparent' address of each instruction in the
hex file.

Yes, it's confusing, but it has to be done this way when you use a
byte-oriented file format with wider-than-byte data.
