- Mem-Handler is a handler that allows any area of system memory to be accessed
- like a file. As an added bonus MEM: will act like NULL: if no address/length
- is specified. All writes automatically succeed.
-
- Mem-Handler is Copyright 1990,1991 by Michael Mounier. Non-commercial distribution
- is allowed.
-
- Version 1.2 implements some more packet types that seem to be required for
- correct operation under that latest version AmigaDOS 2.0 (37.74).
-
- To install Mem-Handler
- ----------------------
-
- 1) Place the following entry in your MountList:
-
- /* MEM:addr/len allows system memory as a file */
- MEM: Handler = L:Mem-Handler
- Stacksize = 2000
- Priority = 5
- Globvec = -1
- #
-
- 2) Copy Mem-Handler to L:
-
- 3) Mount MEM:
-
-
- To access MEM:
- --------------
-
- Use MEM:address/length wherever you would use a filename. Address and
- length are in HEX.
-
-
- Examples/Uses
- -------------
-
- To look at ROM try:
-
- > Type MEM:FC0000/40000 opt h
-
- You could use MEM: in conjuction with an editor (such as CED) and AREXX to
- allow you to compile (or do some other processing) straight from ram.
-
- You can use MEM: like NIL: or NULL: for example:
-
- > Copy #? to MEM: all
-
- Caveats
- -------
-
- You CAN crash your machine with MEM: by reading an area of memory that
- contains write only registers.
-
- Avoid the following address ranges:
- A00000-BFFFFF
- D80000-EFFFFF
