- Subject: RE: Fixing VMSDEH
-
- It would appear that once upon a time, VMSMIT.HEX used four byte addressing
- with a ":" as the record header. This fix:
-
- ;++
- ;1.1.01
- ;Updated March 9, 1898, by Susan Webb and Jerry Holliday of Lockheed Aircraft
- ;Systems Co, Marietta, GA, to work for files longer than 64K. Added lines
- ;marked with ";JH".
-
- was to convert two more address bytes after the conversion loop near label
- NAB:. The way I read the code, ":" says to convert two address bytes, the
- Webb/Holliday fix converted two more giving a total of four.
-
- The VMSMIT.HEX that I pulled from KERMSRV a few weeks ago had "<" as the
- record header. Since ('<' == ':'+2) that says (to me) four byte addressing.
- The result was that the Webb/Holliday fix ended up consuming the record
- type byte and the first byte of data.
-
- My fix is to remove their fix...
