Does SID have a write-memory-to-file command? My copy doesn't. DR says no. But haven't there been patching instructions on this list that use it? --bridger

From: Rick Conn <rconn@Brl-Mis.ARPA> SID/ZSID by themselves do not support a Write/Save command, but in conjunction with the utility RELS.UTL (or REL.UTL) they do. The utility provides a number of additional commands which may be executed from within SID/ZSID, and one such command is C.SAVE, which is used as follows: ZSID A.RELS.UTL Imyfile.hex R <-- Read in file from disk Imyfile.com <-- Define Name of output file C.SAVE 100 endadr <-- Write data to disk from 100H to endadr G0 <-- done The ZEX.ZEX command file gives a graphic example of the use of RELS.UTL with some explanation. I'll see if I can look up some documentation on it. The 4th section (pp 42-49) of the SID manual talks about utilities. Rick

there is a write command for sid 3.0 (the one which comes standard with the distribution disk). the documentation for it is in one of the refs but not the other (typical dri...). anyway, if you have a cpm3 system the command is: Wfile[,start,stop] `file' is a standard cpm file description -- eg q:foo.baz `start' and `stop' are optional start and stop addresses. if none are specified then the start of the tpa is used as start and the address of the LAST end of load address is used. this is a nasty bug! e.g. A>sid foo.com SID 3.0... NEXT LAST HIGH PC <or some such> 0C00 0C00 CDFF 0100 #rbar.com NEXT LAST HIGH PC 0300 0C00 CDFF 0100 #wquux.com Saved 4 records (4h) <or some such> n.b. -- one would have expected 11 records but someone at dri screwed up this. thus to get what would be expected, one must say #wquux.com,100,c00 Saved 11 records (0bh) -- K

From: Rick Conn <rconn@Brl-Mis.ARPA> I did not find RELS.UTL or REL.UTL (there are two different files) in the main CP/M archives on SIMTEL20. In scanning the SIG/M catalog, I note the following references: REL.UTL in Vol 76 I can find no other documentation on REL.UTL or RELS.UTL. Perhaps someone else knows of the source for details? Rick
