Z80-FILE(5)                       File format                      Z80-FILE(5)

NAME
       description of file format used by z80-asm

DESCRIPTION
       The recommended filename extension should be .z80 The file consists of
       header, address and data.

HEADER
       Header is 8 bytes long. It contains string Z80ASM (6 bytes - without
       trailing zero) followed by 0x1a character and linefeed character ( 0x0a
       ). The 0x1a character is to persuade DO$ viewers to stop viewing the
       file.  The newline character terminates the header.

ADDRESS
       Address follows the header as 2 bytes. These are interpretated as a
       16-bit start address of the data(code) to load.  The less significant
       byte comes first, most significant byte follows.

DATA
       Data come after address. Data are raw compiled program. Length of data
       can be simply calculated: length of file-10 bytes.
