Whic programmer do you have? Most that I'm familiar with (Needham, DataIO,
BP Microsystems, Tribal) all have a utility that after downloading the
image, allows you to program either the high byte or low byte of the image.
Is your programmer one that's perhaps a standalone unit that doesn't support
this?

It would be an excellent exercise for learning some programming.
Yes, it is harsh, and such a statement is of absolutely
no use to me since there are plenty of other things I have
chosen to devote my time and energy to.
I am, first and foremost, a hardware hack. I have a ton
of respect for all the folks who have chosen to be code
jockeys, but pesonally, I'm far happier with a soldering iron
in one hand and a schematic in the other. Typing and
debugging code all day, beyond the few scripts and config
files I use to keep my 'net presence alive and well, would
drive me nuts in less than a week.
In short; I will do it if I have no other way to
accomplish my goal. However, I will always search for a
pre-written alternative (yes, I buy stuff from shareware
authors) before I think about rolling my own.
Fortunately, a number of other list users have offered
outstandingly helpful pointers (thanks, troops!) As it turns
out, it's not an odd-even split I need; It's
high-byte/low-byte split. I'm still digging, and I find I
often learn more along the way than I would if I sat down and
started coding.
