File Searches<br />

File searches are important in loader processing. The loader utility supports<br />

relative <strong>and</strong> absolute directory names, default directories, <strong>and</strong><br />

user-selected directories for file search paths. File searches occur as<br />

described on page 1-1.<br />

File Extensions<br />

Some loader switches take a file name as an optional parameter. Table 6-2<br />

lists the expected file types, names, <strong>and</strong> extensions. The loader utility takes<br />

files with extensions of .dxe, .ovl, <strong>and</strong> .sm but expects only those with<br />

extension .dxe in a comm<strong>and</strong> line on the Load page. The loader utility<br />

finds files with extensions of .ovl <strong>and</strong> .sm as it processes the associated<br />

.dxe file. The loader utility searches for .ovl <strong>and</strong> .sm files in the directory<br />

holding the .dxe files, in the directory specified in the .ldf file, or in the<br />

current directory.<br />
