xwisp (the PC software for my Wisp648 programmer) can be commanded to=20 read a hex file, modify one or more addresses, and write the result back=20 to a hex file. Note that no programmer hardware is involved. If you want to roll your own: xwisp is written in python, the source is=20 available. Even without any code to start with: reading and writing hex=20 files is not that complex. --=20 Wouter van Ooijen -- ------------------------------------------- Van Ooijen Technische Informatica: www.voti.nl consultancy, development, PICmicro products docent Hogeschool van Utrecht: www.voti.nl/hvu --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
