NAME
     srec_fastload - LSI Logic Fast Load file format

DESCRIPTION
     The FastLoad Format uses a compressed ASCII format that permits files to be
     downloaded in less than half the time taken for Motorola S-records.

     The  base-64 encoding used is "A-Za-z0-9,.".  The data is encoded in groups
     of 4 characters (3 bytes, 24 bits).

     The character '/' is used to introduce a special function.   Special  func-
     tions are:

     Annnnnn
	     Defines an address.

     Bnn     Define a single byte.

     Cnnnn   Compare  the  checksums.	The checksum is a simple positive 16-bit
	     sum, of the data bytes only.

     EAA     Define the program's entry point.	The address will be the  current
	     address  as  defined by the A command.  (The AA number in this com-
	     mand is ignored.)	This must be the last entry in the file.

     KAA     Clear the checksum.  (The AA number in this command is ignored.)

     Sname,X
	     Define a symbol.  The address of the symbol will be the current ad-
	     dress as defined by the A command.

     Znn     Clear a number of bytes.

   Size Multiplier
     In general, binary data will expand in sized  by  approximately  1.4  times
     when represented with this format.

EXAMPLE
     Here  is  an example LSI Logic Fast Load format file.  It contains the data
     "Hello, World[rq] to be loaded at address 0.
	    /AAAA
	    SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxk/BAK/CARS/AAAA/EAA
