This file takes the form of one or more RCA Cosmac Elf monitor commands,
also known as the IDIOT/4 monitor.
Only the change memory command (!M) is allowed.
The general form of the !M command takes the form
!Maaaadd ... dd
The !M command writes data byte bytes (represented by character
pairs dd) into successive memory locations, started at address
aaaa.
Spaces between data bytes are ignored.
Using the comma (,) line continuation character resumes from
the next address in sequence.
!Maaaadd ... dd,
dd ... dd
Using the semicolon (;) line continuation character
takes an address on the next line
!Maaaadd ... dd;
aaaadd ... dd
It is also possible to have the semicolon immediately after the command.
!M;
aaaadd ... dd
All of these forms may be used in combination.
Size Multiplier
In general, binary data will expand in size by approximately 2.0 times
when represented with this format.
