Sorry, I'm going to send you to ticalc.org... But here's an address for
you: http://www.ticalc.org/85/index.html#utils. Then click on the link
for FORMATS.ZIP. Its direct actual location is /pub/text/formats.zip.
This file tells you about the format of each of the TI85 files. If
you're trying to make an ASM program (this is what I'm guessing..),
compile it first. Then run it through STRING85.COM (.EXE?). This file is
included with the standard ZShell distribution, ZSHELL.ZIP. STRING85
will automatically make an 85s file for you, with valid header,
checksum, the whole works. :)
