MANUAL FOR RELOCN (6502 assembler) This file describes the program RELOCN which moves a given file down in memory after it has been loaded so that it can run where the DFS workspace used to be. The manual is (C)1997 SPROW and software is (C)1996 SPROW INSTRUCTIONS- At the BASIC prompt,type CHAIN"RELOCN" or whatever you've saved it as. The program will pose you with some rather blunt questions,the answers to which should be as follows: 1.Assemble at This is where the final,resulting file will be loaded in at.For a DFS system it should therefore be above &1900 on a BBC B or &1B00 on an Econet machine. 2.Filename to relocate This is the place where the source file is 3.Execution address You'll need to find out where this is from the source file.After the program has been relocated this is the address that will be jumped to. 4.Relocation address This is where the source file will be shifted down to.So a file from the cassette filing system might move to &E00. Example session *OPT 1,2 *CAT and you'll see something like Myfile 0F 00000E00 00001234 00000F99 where 'assemble at' might be &1E00 'filename' is "myfile" 'execution address' is &1234 'relocation address' is &0E00 So as a diagram before during after ---------------&8000 ---------------&8000 ---------------&8000 screen mem screen mem screen mem ---------------&7C00 ---------------&7C00 ---------------&7C00 spare space spare space spare space ---------------&2D99 myfile ---------------&1E00 spare space ---------------&1D99 ---------------&1900 ---------------&1900 myfile dfs workspace dfs workspace ---------------&0E00 ---------------&0E00 ---------------&0E00 KNOWN PROBLEMS/FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS- No known problems HISTORY- V1.00 Original version required for some TAPE -> DISC transfers
