Check out the .85? file formats at ticalc.org, specifically the one for
.85s and .85g.  Basically you need to take the object file and put that as
the data in the string.  You also need to add the header
(**TI85**,comment,etc.), a checksum to the actual _ZShell_ program (one
byte), and a two byte checksum at the end.
