[Gmecm] What really is a 'mask'?

[Steve Ravet]

It has to do with editing images.  Imagine that you "mask" out the code
and only leave the data tables.  This is what mask refers to.  It's a
specification of tables, their location and purpose.  A mask ID is
assigned to all applications that have the same mask.  There can be many
different calibrations for the same mask, and possibly different code
versions, although the code would have to be substantially the same.
