I thought that too at first but I re-read his messsage and it didn't say
that. It said that he wanted to take a 256K memory dump and break it into
64K chucks for archiving so I gathered that he wanted to leave it in 32 bit
words. I'm not sure what he's really after, his message wqasn't very clear.

Yes, that the best way to do it if he's going to put it into EPROMs. I
think the site that Eric suggested
(
http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~millerp/srecord.html) has a program to do
that. So that should take care of his needs.
