Hi everyone,

IMO, my question is off-topic, but I was wondering if there are any
other developers among
us who could help me out. I'm writing my own library to process and
generate Motorola S
records, basically because I'm interested in such things & to keep my
programming skills up to
speed while I'm working in offices looking for something better, and
I've got information from
Google searches, file format websites, and Motorola's processor manuals,
but there seems to
be two schools of thought on it:

1) The first mentions that you can have module, symbol and S0-S9 records
in a S records file.
This comes from Hagen V. Tronje's ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) S record
format description
text file, which is often cited in the Google results.

2) The second only mentions the S0-S9 records being present in a S
records file. This comes
from sources such as Sanjaya Vatuk and Motorola, to name but 2.

(My Google searches also turned up information about LSI Logic defining
the S4 record to
carry debug symbol information for use with their debugging tools.)

I'd assume that the second description would be the correct one because
it comes from the
Motorola documentation, and most S records files that I've seen
generated by compilers and
linkers only contain S0-S9 records, but I was wondering what the
professional opinions of my
fellow developers on this group were?

I'd appreciate your comments as they'll help me in designing my S
records library.

Many thanks in advance,
