I assume you've got most of the HP64000 utilities on your system.

Method-A
------------
If you use the "ld68k" linker to produce your executable file:

Invoke using '-fa' in the command line options.
The output generated should be in Motorola S-Record format.


Method-B
-------------
If you use the "ld68k" linker to produce your executable file:

If you use a linker command file then add a line:
"FORMAT S"
to get Motorola S-Records.


Method-C
------------
If you have an HP64000 absolute format file and just want to convert
it into Motorola S-Record format, use:

/usr/hp64000/bin/xlate -f -tmot source_file

NOTE: By default, the "ld68k" linker produces "filename.x" where
      ".x" signifies the file format is IEEE MUFOM.
      To get the "ld68k" linker to produce "filename.X" where
      ".X" significes HP Absolute format, use the "-h" option on
      the command line.


Man pages for "ld68k" and "xlate" exist.

Regards,

Kevin L Jones.
