There was no doubt about it. My uncertainty followed from having seen plenty of configuration data files named firmware or microcode, and from having seen patches for such configuration data. Truth is, most people who deal with these files probably don't know and don't care whether the bits stand for executable code. So much of that that I've stopped regarding such terms as carrying any implication that they necessarily refer to executable code. It doesn't rule it out as a possibility, but the use of these terms doesn't even count as supporting evidence in my mind.
