NAME

       This is the native hexadecimal format of the Stag Prom Programmer.

       The file must start with an asterisk '*' on a line by itself.

       Each line has a 16‐bit address, followed by 8‐bit bytes.

       The end is indicated by '$S' folloowed by a 16‐bit checksum of the data bytes as 4 hex digits.

   Command Line Option
       This format is specified using the -PPX command line option.

       (but remember, the file contents are always multiples of four bytes).
