Yes, they waste a colossal (well, relatively speaking) amount of space
with all those 256 byte blocks with tiny strings in 'em. In a subsequent
version of the script I only write structures for unique directives /
addresses / options, and it cuts the size of the header down to ~100k,
which is at least better than the original 800k. It is this smaller
version that I put in the patch.

This is good to know - it might indicate that it wont be too hard to
extract the config information in the same way from subsequent MPASM
releases. Thanks a lot for testing it.

Do you have a version of this doc with the configuration addresses /
values / defaults / masks etc.? The version I have only has the
directives and their text values.
