- Program Name: SLOAD.COM
-
- Objective: INTEL HEX LOADER
-
- Syntax: SLOAD [du:]source[.ext] [du:][destination[.ext]]
-
- Programmer: Harris Landsberg
-
- Notes: This program is similar to Digital Research's LOAD.COM with a few
- minor exceptions. One, all unfilled space within the program is binary
- zero filled. Two, it can create binary images that do not start at the
- manditory 0100H start address. This is needed for assembling code at a
- given location without the use of .PHASE that is usually not available
- with most assemblers that produce Intel Hexidecimal format files. This
- program can also access a different user area and, also, can place the
- output on another drive and/or user area.
-
- Misc: On floppy disk systems there will be less disk accessing since the
- output is buffered entirely in memory before it goes to disk. Possible
- errors encountered are read errors including invalid hexidecimal digit
- or incorrect checksum and disk write error if there is not enough disk
- space or directory entries. If you do not enter a destination name the
- output will go to the same name. You may specify just a drive/user for
- the destination then the destination will have the same name as source
- as given. The default file extensions are: .HEX for the input file and
- .COM for the output file. It is a good idea to change the extension of
- of the output if it does not start at 0100H.
-
- Requirements: This program runs on under CP/M-80 on machines with a 8080,
- 8085 or Z-80 processor series. All arguments must be given at the time
- the program is evoked since there is no prompting for parameters. This
- program is known to run under Z-80 emulators if any one is interested.
-
- Addenda: This software program is being released into the public domain.
- It may not be sold or be bundled with another software product unless
- the express permission has been granted by the author. The source may
- be modified, but may not be distributed once modified. This is to keep
- the integrity of the software program.
