Creeping Featuritis (Moose Turd Pie?)

(1 / 1)


	Per Messr Peter Lipson's request, I have added an
option to QDF which will allow you to omit the RAM portion
of your .HEX files. The switch is "/R" and is described in
the updated DOK:QDF.DOC. Briefly, to format a file without
RAM initialization use:
	$ QDF file/R=0-3FFFFF
(assuming System I memory map). This little feature exacts
a performance penalty of 4% whether you use it or not. That
is, formats now take 26% as much time as CFOR did instead
of 25%. If this is intolerable, duke it out with Lipson and
let the winner tell me what to do about it.
				Have Fun,
				Mike
