or you can simply reply to me and I will forward.

The subject pretty much sums things up, but I will provide some
background information also.

He has a group of very primitive 68000 boards (manufacturer unknown)
which he would like to use for a class.  He also has a cross-compiler
(maybe assembler?) on a PC.  What he would like to be able to do is
download object code from the PC directly to the board.  I thought
that S-records would be the most intelligent means to use, as then
if they later found a language compiler that they would like to use
(assuming it produced S-records also), no modification to the receiving
end would need to be made.

So, the real question is, where can he or I get specs for the S-record
format?

Thanks!
