My SEQUENCE program may be useful.  It is included in the PIC development
environment release.  This will gets you a unique sequence number.  It
doesn't do anything about writing it into a HEX file.

All my programmer programs are Win32 command line executables, not DOS.
They most definitely will not run on DOS.

I don't have a ready made program to insert a serial number into a HEX file.
If I needed that I'd probably use the SEQUENCE program or the library
routines it calls, and the IHEX routines int the STUFF library to read and
write HEX files.
