The GENCOM Command CP/M 3 User's Guide
Explanation: The preceding form of the GENCOM command creates a COM file
with a header and attached RSXS. A maximum of 15 RSXs can be
attached. GENCOM expects the first filespec to be a COM file and the
following filespecs to be RSX files. Note that the original COM file is
replaced by the newly-created COM file.
Example: A >GENCOM MYPROG PROG1 PROG2
The preceding command generates a new COM file MYPROG.COM
with attached RSXs PROG1 and PROG2.
Generate a COM File Using only RSX Files
Syntax: GENCOM RSX-filespec {RSX-filespec}...
[NULL {SCB = (offset,value)}]
Explanation: The preceding form of the GENCOM command attaches the RSX files
to a dummy COM file. GENCOM creates a COM file with the filename
of the first RSX-filespec in the command tail. This format allows
the system to load RSXs directly.
Example: A>GENCOM PROGI PROG2 [NULL]
The preceding command creates a COM file PROG1.COM with Resident
System Extensions PROG1.RSX and PROG2.RSX.
Restore a File with Attached RSXs to Original COM File
Syntax: GENCOM filename
Explanation: The preceding form of the GENCOM file takes a file that has already
been processed by GENCOM and restores it to its original COM file
format. This form of the command assumes a filetype of COM.
Example: A> GENCOM MYPROG
In the preceding command, GENCOM takes MYPROG.COM, strips
off the header and deletes all attached RSXs to restore it to its original
COM format.
