Explanation: The GENCOM command is a transient utility that creates a special
COM file with attached RSX files. RSX files are used as Resident System
Extensions and are discussed in detail in the CPIM Plus (CP/M
Version 3) Operating System Programmer's Guide. GENCOM places a
special header at the beginning of the output program file to indicate
to the system that RSX loading is required. It can also set a flag to
keep the program loader active.
The GENCOM command can also restore a file already processed by
GENCOM to the original COM file without the header and RSXS.
GENCOM has three options that help you attach RSX files:
0 The LOADER option sets a flag to keep the program loader active.
(For complete details on the LOADER option read about CP/M
function 59 in the CPIM Plus (CPIM Version 3) Operating System
Programmer's Guide.) This option is used only if no RSX files are
attached to the COM file.
0 The NULL option indicates that only RSX files are specified.
GENCOM creates a dummy COM file for the RSX files. The output
COM filename is taken from the filename of the first RSX-filespec.
0 The SCB = (offset,value) option sets the System Control Block from
the program by using the hex values specified by (offset,value). For
complete details on the SCB option read about CP/M function 49 in
the CPIM Plus (CPIM Version 3) Operating System Programmer's
Guide.
