Why are the line pointers exist in the WAVE created with CSAVE ?
Because it's a simple dump of the RAM and it's easier to leave the information 
in the stream as strip it away?

So i can just insert 0x0 as line pointer?

And what's about "machine code starting address" and "machine code loading 
address" ?
