- Introduction
- ------------
-
- Mem2Dsk is a program to provide the user a way of dumpingì
- (copying) a section of memory (RAM or ROM) to a disk file. Thisì
- is very useful for looking into the ROM-BIOS, or otherì
- interesting parts of memory.ì
-
-
-
- System Requirements
- -------------------
-
- Version 1.00 of Mem2Dsk requires an MS-DOS compatible
- computer with at least 96K of RAM (taking into account the
- memory used by MS-DOS). It requires version 2.0 or later of
- MS-DOS. The program does not require any special hardware;
- Mem2Dsk should function on any MS-DOS computer, and has been
- tested on the Texas Instruments Professional Computer.
-
- For the record, Mem2Dsk was written in Microsoft C version
- 4.00, on a Kaypro Professional Computer.
-
-
-
-
-
- Running Mem2Dsk
- ---------------
-
- Syntax for executing Mem2Dsk is very simple. At the DOS
- prompt, enter:
-
- Mem2Dsk start_paragraph end_paragraph filename
-
- where:
-
- - start_paragraph - is the 16-byte paragraph where youì
- want the dump to begin. This number can be from 0ì
- to FFFF, and must be hexadecimal.
-
- - end_paragraph - is the 16-byte paragraph where youì
- want the dump to end. This number can be from 0ì
- to FFFF, must be hexadecimal, and must be greater
- than or equal to start_paragraph.
-
- - filename - is the name of the file to which you wantì
- the memory information to be saved.ì
-
- ALL PARAMETERS ARE REQUIRED. If invalid parameters are
- entered, Mem2Dsk will display an error message.ì
-
- Mem2Dsk makes a "photocopy" of memory, without any formattingì
- or translation of data. For example, you can use Mem2Dsk to make
- a file which contains an exact duplicate of your PC's ROM-BIOS.
-
- WARNING: Mem2Dsk is not designed to allow for copyright orì
- patent infringement. Please do NOT use it for this purpose,ì
- because I don't want to get into trouble.ì
