[net.micro] macn80

  I have a copy of macn80.exe and h19.z80 (which I got from SRI-KL.)
The h19 rom program was modified to compile under macn80.  However,
I have found either a bug in macn80 or do not understand the output
file that it produces.  The ROM is org'ed at $F800 and the first 
record of the .BIN file reflects this, however all of the records
that follow look like the ROM was org'ed at $0000.  For instance,
the first record has an address of $F800 and a length of $63 bytes.
The second record should have a starting address of $F863, but it
actually has the value of $0063 in the record!  The code is ok,
because I downloaded it (after converting to Motorola S1 format)
and compared it to an actual ROM.  I did so by changing the first
record by hand to load at $0000.  
  I have tried another file which was org'ed at $0000, and the .BIN
file reflected the hole in the file between $0042 and $0062 correctly,
so I cannot assume that the number is some sort of relative offset,
I don't think.  If anyone can either post the correct format or tell
me that macn80 is messed up, I would appreciate knowing.
