NAME

       srec_spectrum - Spectrum file format

DESCRIPTION

       In  this format, bytes are recorded as ASCII code with binary digits represented by 1s and
       0s.  Each byte is preceded by a decimal address.

       The file ends with a Control‐C character (0x03).

   Size Multiplier
       In general, binary data will expand in sized by approximately 14  times  when  represented
       with this format (or 15 times on DOS or Windows).

       address 0x0.
