The hex file is going to be larger than the resulting binary, but really
only about twice as large, so that means that the binary form is going to be
around 150K. I'm not totally familiar with Intel hex format (I was always
an S-record guy, but probably the best way to do this would be to produce
records with a header indicating the starting address and then the raw data.
This would allow chunking of the binary to get each record under the 64K
limit. You then could use some of the free code out on the net to build a
PDB file with these records for downloading to the Palm device.
