3.5.1 Configuration Words
To allow portability of code, it is strongly recommended that the programmer be able to read the Configuration Words and User ID locations from the hex file. If the Configuration Words information is not present in the hex file, a simple warning message may be issued. Similarly, while saving a hex file, the Configuration Words and User ID information need to be included.
