Great!  At first, I was a bit concerned that the text PDA produced by
prism2_srec is slightly different in format from what prism2dl produces.
prism2dl prepends 0x to each number and adds commas after every number.

However, prism2dl and prism2_srec understand each other's files.  Also,
the format produced by prism2_srec is what is used in publicly distributed
PDA files, such as bromax.pda and even prism2_ssf.pda included with
linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre19.

All I want to say now is thank you!
