HELP for XXDP V2 HELP.TXT Rev: 4.0 ________________________________________________________________________________ -- XXDP V2 can boot two monitors (XXDPSM or XXDPXM). The "SM" monitor is for systems that are 28k or smaller in size, the "XM" monitor is for systems larger than 28k. Start-up file BOOT.CCC ----------------------- At boot time, a start-up file BOOT.CCC will be executed as a chain file. If the file does not exsist there will NOT be warning message, but boot will continue. Only the two commands listed below are allowed and only one of these commands may be used in BOOT.CCC. This commad must be on the first line in the file with no leading spaces. SM - Boots the small monitor QUIET - Boots XXDP-XM in UFD monitor mode (SYSTEM.CCC must exsist) ________________________________________________________________________________ SMALL MONITOR (XXDPSM) ----------------------- The following are legal commands : (format of each command is shown) ------------------------------------------------------------- C - run a batch job (chain) C filename.CCC[/switches] ------------------------------------------------------------ D - list directory of load medium D[/L][/F] "/L" switch = on a LP: "/F" switch = in a short form. ------------------------------------------------------------- DAte - inspect or set the current system date. (For more information see "HELP DATE") ------------------------------------------------------------ E - enable alternative drive for system device E n where n is the new drive number ------------------------------------------------------------ H - type help information about XXDP V2 H[/L] "/L" = print on a LP: ------------------------------------------------------------ L - load a program L filename[.ext] Example: .L DIAG (load DIAG.BI?) .L ZDJCA2.NEW (load ZDJCA2.NEW) ------------------------------------------------------------ R - run a program R filename[.ext] [addr] ------------------------------------------------------------ S - start a program S [addr] ------------------------------------------------------------ VT - toggles the console terminal type between video and hard copy (The default terminal type is hard copy) ________________________________________________________________________________ EXTENDED MONITOR (XXDPXM) ------------------------- The following are legal commands : (format for each command is shown) (Letters shown in upper case are required to make a command unique) ________________________________________________________________________________ Boot - directs monitor to boot another XXDP device Boot dev: ________________________________________________________________________________ BOOTSm - directs monitor to boot up the small monitor. BOOTSM ________________________________________________________________________________ Chain - execute a batch, or chain file. The file must be a .CCC CHAIN filespec[/switches] ________________________________________________________________________________ COpy - transfer files and maintenance operations COpy[/BOOT ] input-filespec output-filespec [/FILES ] [/DEVICE ] [/DELETE ] Examples: .COPY A.BIN DY0: (Copy A.BIN from system device to DY0:) .COPY/BOOT DM0: DM1: (Copy monitor from DM0: to DM1:) .COPY/FILES DL0: DL1: (Copy all files from DL0: to DL1:) .COPY/DEVICE DY0: DY1: (Copy device image from DY0: to DY1:) ________________________________________________________________________________ DAte - inspect or to set the current system date DATE dd-mmm-yy (Default date is set to 01-JAN-84) where dd = day (a decimal number from 1 to 31) mmm = month, first three characters yy = year (a decimal number from 83 to 99) Example (setting date): .DATE 18-MAY-83 Example (obtaining date): .DATE 18-MAY-83 ________________________________________________________________________________ DElete - deletes the file(s) that are specified. DElete[/NOREWIND] filespec [/NONAMES ] Example: .DELETE DK0:ABC.BIN .DELETE/NONAMES DK0:ABC?.BIN (No file names will print) .DELETE/NOREWIND *.TXT (No tape rewind between files) ________________________________________________________________________________ Directory - list all files on a XXDP device. DIRECTORY[/PRINTER] [/FAST] where /PRINTER = print on LP: /FAST = show in short form ________________________________________________________________________________ Enable - enable alternative drive for system device E n where n is the new drive number ________________________________________________________________________________ Help - types HELP.TXT which contains help on XXDP V2 H[/PRINTER] ________________________________________________________________________________ INItialize - initialize device directory into XXDP format. INITIALIZE device: CAUTION: All data on device is lost! ________________________________________________________________________________ Load - load a file into memory LOAD filespec Example: .LOAD DIAG (load DIAG.BI?) .LOAD ZDJCA2.NEW (load ZDJCA2.NEW) ________________________________________________________________________________ Print - Print contents of files on the specified device on LP: PRINT[/NOREWIND] filespec Example: .PRINT DY0:SYSTEM.CCC .PRINT/NOREWIND MS1:*.TXT ________________________________________________________________________________ REname - change the file specification of an existing file RENAME input-filespec output-filespec Example: .RENAME DX1:DIAG.OLD=DX1:DIAG.BIN ________________________________________________________________________________ Run - load and start a program that is stored on system device. RUN filespec [addr] Examples: .RUN UPD2 (load/start UPD2.BIN) .RUN SAMPLE.XXX (load/start SAMPLE.XXX) .RUN FXDIAG 204 (load/start FXDIAG.BI? at location 204) ________________________________________________________________________________ SEt - changes device characteristics and system parameters. SET [ device ]:condition [ item ] where "device" = device whose characteristics are modified. "item" = system parameter that needs to be modified. Examples: .SET TT:SCOPE (RUBOUT will delete characters - Default is NOSCOPE) .SET TT:NOSCOPE (RUBOUT will enclose deleted characters in backslashes) .SET TT:QUIET (Prevent system from echoing lines from a chain file or from diagnostics that are running from a chain file) (Default = NOQUIET) ________________________________________________________________________________ Start - start a file that has been loaded into memory via LOAD START [addr] A starting address may be entered ________________________________________________________________________________ Type - prints the contents of a file on the terminal TYPE[/NOREWIND] filespec Example: .TYPE/NOREWIND *.TXT ________________________________________________________________________________ Version - Identifies the monitor and prints the restart address and version. ________________________________________________________________________________ Switches - are not applicable to all commands - these switches are not system defaults /PRINTER = print on LP: /NONAMES = No file names will be shown /NOREWIND = prevents tape rewinding between files ________________________________________________________________________________ UPDAT program -------------- This program uses the same commands as UPD2. Commands SAVM and SAVE are no longer supported. The following command has been added to build bootable media. It will work with tapes or disks. CREATE DY0: (will create a bootable DY from your system media) ________________________________________________________________________________ CAUTION : Do NOT use XXDP+ V1 to write to XXDP V2 media. XXDP V2 may read or write to XXDP+ V1. NOTE : The monitor only sizes to 124k words. * For a detailed description of these commands see XXDP/DRS User Manual ________________________________________________________________________________
