Motorola S-record converter source for new project

Are you after a tool with which to conver the S-records to binary or are you
after a characterization of the S-record format? Most of the published (back
in the '70's and '80's) monitors that MOT released contained code to convert
incoming S-records to binary and the reverse.

Has anybody looked at those? I'd suggest one look at Lilbug.ASM, which is
published and available even today. The Buffalo monitor for the 'HC11, also
widely published, has that feature in it also, I believe.

I've never seen it done in 'C' but there's really no reason why it shouldn't
be.
