Can anyone tell me how to fill memory with a known bit pattern to see the effect on programs loaded on top of it? I fiddled with DEBUG for a while and it looked promising but I'm afraid I might blow away something since I've never been very agile with DEBUG's instruction and addressing scheme. Can a large (200K or more) chunk of memory be initialized with one instruction, or do you have to limp along changing 64K at a time? Is there a SIMTEL utility that does this or can it be done with a simple DEBUG script? I think I've seen it in a PC Magazine a few years back but can't find it now. Thanks. -John Desmond desmond@nosc.mil
