Silly question, but maybe someone here's found a nice way of doing this
using standard Unix tools...
I am not aware of a standard unix utility to do this, but it shouldn't be
too hard to do it in perl or C.
(files are in the format of 16 pairs of uppercase hex
digits per line,
with a trailing space after every pair - even the last one on a line)
I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that I need to remember some C
again - and I've only just finished emptying my brain of it after the
last time I needed to code in it a couple of months ago :-)
I know that when I wanted to convert some ROM dumps to/from Intel-hex
format, it didn't take me long to knock up a rough-and-ready pair of
programs to do this (rough-and-ready meaning that they assumed that
intelhex lines were less than 256 characters long -- which is certainly
the case with my (commercial) EPROM programmer), etc).
And I am not a programmer...
