- Enclosed is a DEBUG script that will create a 68 byte .COM file
- (CLEAR.COM) that will zero out memory between the current load
- position and the TOM. To use, extract the portion of this message
- between the (cut here) lines and name it CLEAR.DEB (the portion
- beginning with "a100" and ending with the blank line after the
- "q" - NOTE: that last blank line must be there as must the blank
- line following "JMP 102".
-
- Next run "DEBUG <CLEAR.DEB" When run there should be no errors.
- This will create the program CLEAR.COM.
-
- NOTE: It will not clear the disk buffers or any high/upper RAM
- nor will it remove any viruses that are properly resident
- in allocated space, it just clears free memory.
-
- Weasel-words: this is FreeWare but carries no guarantee of fitness
- of any kind. Caveat etc.
