Yes, I for one would be interested.  I'm working on a project now that has 
such a requirement.  We're downloading an executable to a "Dosless" ROM based
80286 via RS-232.

Is that extended Intel Hex Format, that is, can I generate a program that is
greater than 64K in size?

I don't know the newsgroup to send to, my best guess would be 
comp.binaries.ibm.pc but  I am not that familiar with the policy for sub-
missions there.
