Hi Guys,
It's been a while since I got my hands dirty with pics,
how easy it is to forget something that was so fluent a few years ago!

Anyway, I wish to write large amounts of arbitrary data to a 24LC64 I2C EEPROM,
and noticed that MPLAB has the option of building a project for some EEPROMS in this family.

All I'd like to know is how I format my data in the text file to the project will compile into
a hex code ready for writing to the EEPROM with a pic programmer.

It would be ever so tedious to edit the data directly into a pic programmer window,
and seems unreasonable amount of work to have to write a program that translates data to
a standard hex file.
Any help on this would be appreciated.

I AM willing to write a program to format the data into whatever type of text file MPLAB expects though.

Cheers, Art.
