*.mcs format file can't contain over 1Mbyte data?

It might be a silly question, but I want to make sure somthing.



I got a description about *.mcs file like below


----------------------------------------------------------------------



MCS-86 File



An Intel PROM format (.mcs) file supported by the Xilinx tools. Its maximum address is 1,048,576. This format supports PROM files of up to (8 x 1,048,



576) = 8,388,608 bits.


--------------------------------------------------------------------



Dose this description mean I can't make *.mcs file containing over 1MByte data?



Thanks in advance!

Well, that depends on the implementation. The Intel file format specification supports 32 bit addresses (4GB), but many programmers don't bother to support the extended linear address record. See;
