Examples: A>SID
SID Utilities
In the preceding example CP/M 3 loads SID from drive A into memory.
SID displays the # prompt when it is ready to accept commands.
A>B:SID SAMPLE.HEX
In the preceding example, CP/M 3 loads SID and the program file
SAMPLE.HEX into memory from drive B. SID displays:
NEXT MSZE PC END
nnnn mmmm pppp eeee
In the preceding example, nnnn is a hexadecimal address of the next
free location following the loaded program, and mmmm is the next
location after the largest program. This is initially the same value as
NEXT. pppp is the initial hexadecimal value of the the program counter.
eeee is the hexadecimal address of the logical end of the TPA.
#DFEOO+#128+5
In the preceding example the first pound sign, #, is the SID prompt.
This SID command, D, displays the values stored in memory starting
at address FE80 (FEOO + #128) and ending at address FE85
(FE80 + 5).
The SID utilities HIST.UTL and TRACE.UTL are special programs that
operate with SID to provide additional debugging facilities. The mechanisms
for system initialization, data collection, and data display are
described in the CPIM SID Symbolic Instruction Debugger User's
Guide. The following discussion illustrates how a utility is activated.
You load the utility by naming it as a parameter when invoking SID:
SID filename.UTL
In the preceding example filename is the name of the utility. Following
the initial sign-on, the utility can prompt you for additional debugging
parameters.
