- I've never seen a definition for these.

- S7 8 character start address record
- S8 6 character start address record
- S9 4 character start address record
-
- In other words, S7-S9 contain the entry point address; the type of
- record used depends on the magnitude of the starting address value.
- I have also seen correspondences documented between record types with
- like-sized address fields, e.g. S1/S9, S2/S8, S3/S7, where for example
- an S7 record is indeed a block termination record for a group of S3
- records, but I'm not sure how strictly this is adhered to.
