OK, so you use a single erase block somewhere with individual bits
corresponding to uploaded blocks.  These bits start out as 1 and you flip
them to 0 when the corresponding block is received.  In any case, you shoul=
d
checksum the whole uploaded image before attempting to write it to the app
area.

However, what does this have to do with the bootloader doing word versus
