Subject: Braitenburg simulator code runs on Miniboard 2.0

A while back I wrote a Braitenburg vehicle simulator for the X-Window system.
I have since ported it to the IBM PC.
I have just finished a new feature. The simulator can now write an output
file that can be loaded into a Motorola MC68HC811E2 microcontroller and
run the simulation on a real robot.

The features are:
  Up to 50 neurodes
  Up to 8 sensor neurodes (Analog input neurodes)
  Up to 4 motor output neurodes in PWM mode
  Up to 8 digital output neurodes (On/off for motor or light bulb or whatnot)

You can simulate the vehicle with the simulator and then compile the
neurode map into an HC11 program that gets executed on the robot.

I'll supply the source code which runs on UNIX or DOS. 
(I use Microsoft quick "C" I don't know if it will compile with anything else.)

Here is what I need:
  I need a program written in "C" that takes binary and writes a S19 file.

It shouldn't be tough it's just that I don't want to write it.

I'm currently in Boston so I won't be testing the code for a few more days. 
You'll just have to wait.

If you have any ideas for any more features I'd love to hear from you.
