NAME

       srec_cosmac - RCA Cosmac Elf file format

DESCRIPTION

       This file takes the form of one or more RCA Cosmac Elf monitor commands, also known as the
       IDIOT/4 monitor.  Only the change memory command (!M) is allowed.

       The general form of the !M command takes the form
              !Maaaa dd ... dd
       The !M command writes data byte bytes (represented by character pairs dd) into  successive
       memory locations, started at address aaaa.  Spaces between data bytes are ignored.

       Using the comma (,) line continuation character resumes from the next address in sequence.
              !Maaaa dd ... dd, dd ... dd

       Using the semicolon (;) line continuation character takes an address on the next line
              !Maaaa dd ... dd; aaaa dd ... dd

       It is also possible to have the semicolon immediately after the command.
              !M; aaaa dd ... dd

       All of these forms may be used in combination.

   Size Multiplier
       In  general,  binary  data will expand in size by approximately 2.0 times when represented
       with this format.
