What are .hex files, and .elf files? How are these related to an .exe file? Thanks, Jordon
"A .hex file (usually Intel HEX-386, these days) describes raw binary data in a format that comes in pieces, mostly so you can skip large ranges of all zeroes..." The other key reason why the Intel Hex format was developed (and Motorola S-Records) was to allow pure binary information to be transferred over communications links that might not support 8-bit pure-binary data; eg, serial links to device programmers.
