[comp.os.cpm] Hexify

SAC.HQSAC-DOCT@E.ISI.EDU (John A. Wright) (02/19/88)

Frank,

My machine does not conform to thestandard HEX convention.

Here is a sample of a line that I got when I used "ASM86"
to generate a hexfile.

:1B000081BA0001B109E8CB04A080003C007503E9D103BB5B00BA5C05B921009C
       ^^

Notice the 81!.  That appears for about 1/2 of the pgm, until I 
get a "short" line, then the 81 changes to an 82?

Also note that the two "numbers" after the "1B are "00" not "01"
that "Hexify" produces.

Are these possibly CP/M-86 anomalies?

I have not had any luckfinding any CP/M-86 books, do you have any
possible titles or authors.

Most, in fact all the "utilities" that I have found an A86 (ASM)
file for, run on my machie.  I have to ssume that all others will
too once I figure this problem out.

I just have to figure out how to convrt 8 bit files to 7 bit files
for download.

I am sending a CC to INFO-CPM, maybe I can get some assistance
theretoo.

Any help would be greatly (GREATLY) appreciated, I am doing this
not only for me but about 1000 other Commodore CBM B-128/256 
users in my Club.

Thanks AGAIN in advance.
