Notes
(0000366) sean94z (reporter) 2011-10-10 17:12	Each S19 record(line) has it's own check sum but I do like the idea and will implement it. Maybe some day we will pack more than firmware in a loadable file :)

(0000368) Fred (administrator) 2011-10-10 17:40	This is a security measure too, as it prevents tampering provided that the checksum file is obtained independently. Eg build from source at fixed commit and compare against md5 downloaded from email or website. Plus, md5 is STRONG and the simple checksum in the S19 is weak as piss.
