I have made a program in assembly language (using keil) . After creating the hex file for the project in Intel hex format the size is coming around 348 bytes. However when I am loading this file in my programmer for burning the size is coming to be 118 bytes. how do i fix this??
Programmer is mini-usb interface universal programmer( locally made)

    The value shown in the 'Size' column in Windows Explorer GUI view on XP is always rounded to some "convenient" figure for display.

    If you do 'Properties', it lists two sizes; viz, "Size" (the size of the actual file content) and "Size on disk" (the size of the disk allocation units used).

    eg, I have a file where explorer lists the "Size" as "3K" in the GUI view and, in 'Properties, gives "Size" as "2.08KB (2,130 bytes)" and "Size on disk" as "4.00K (4,096 BYTES)"

    So, depending on where you look, you can get 3 different numbers for the same file!

    "a chunk size of 384 would be a very unlikely value"

    Granted - that is true.
