It was thus said that the Great Tony Duell once stated:
Might be a big-endian/little-endian issue. A Z80 (if I recall) would lay
down 16 bit quantities as:
L0 H0 L1 H1 L2 H2 ...
while a 6809 (which I know) would lay out 16 bit quantities as:
H0 L0 H1 L1 H2 L2 ...
So maybe that's what he's talking about?
-spc (But in either case, you'll still end up with two files and I would
think that as long as you know which one you need where ... )
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
Care to explain what the difference is? As I understand it you have a
file containing bytes like this (say)
L0 H0 L1 H1 L2 H2....
And you want to make 2 files, one containing
L0 L1 L2 ...
And the other containing
H0 H1 H2...
Looks like an odd/even split to me.
