srec_cosmac - RCA Cosmac Elf file format

This file takes the form of one or more RCA Cosmac Elf monitor commands, also known as the IDIOT/4 monitor. Only the change memory command (CW]!M) is allowed.

The general form of the CW]!M command takes the form !Maaaa dd ... dd The CW]!M command writes data byte bytes (represented by character pairs dd) into successive memory locations, started at address aaaa. Spaces between data bytes are ignored.

Using the comma (CW],) line continuation character resumes from the next address in sequence. !Maaaa dd ... dd, dd ... dd

Using the semicolon (CW];) line continuation character takes an address on the next line !Maaaa dd ... dd; aaaa dd ... dd

It is also possible to have the semicolon immediately after the command. !M; aaaa dd ... dd

All of these forms may be used in combination.
