SPRAY.COM program copyright Dave Angel 71046,1567.
free for anybody, as long as it's not included with
commercial software. Nominal charge (under $6) okay.
SPRAY.ASM This file serves as both documentation and source code.
The program was written in response to a message by
Joe Wallace 21550,6003, who wanted a program to dump
memory after an accidental abort of some other program.
The program was entered with KEDIT, assembled with MASM
5.1, and debugged with SYMDEB. There are several known
simplifications, to keep it small.
It only parses the command line to the extent that if the
command line is non-blank it gives the copyright message.
If run with a blank line, it dumps memory from its own end
to the 640k boundary. If you have some other amount of
memory, change the line below containing '**memory' as
appropriate.
It outputs to standard out, and you have to redirect it if
you want it in a disk file. So you'd run SPRAY>C:\temp
to get it to dump to a file on C: called temp.
Finally, it will go somewhat beyond the (640k) limit, as
much as 63.9 k beyond. This is no problem on most
systems, you just may get a bit of garbage at the end.
But on a few systems you may get funny errors accessing
that memory. If so, the 'nextsegment' logic needs to be
tightened up, to handle the final, partial segment.
Good luck. Any suggestions or improvements welcome.
