Upload for AMS 68010 emulator

(1 / 1)


Have you ever wanted to get hardcopy from your DTB, DT or UPL's.
Well now is your lucky day. 

When you need a DTB hardcopy, for instance, type:-

$ UPL fred.txt
Uploading text from AMS to file fred.txt, Type Control Z to terminate

Then type  to get back to the AMS and do:-

> ON CPY

To enable the auto upload. Now everything that appears on your terminal will
also go to the VAX.

So:-

> DTB 0 TO #200

will send the last 200 lines of disassembled trace buffer to fred.txt.

Once you have done everthing you want type:-

> OFF CPY

to disable the upload, then:-

> TRA

to get back to the VAX. Hit control Z and UPL will write all captured data to
the file fred.txt:-

Writing captured data to file fred.txt. Please wait....
Upload written to file fred.txt

$ 

The file fred.txt will be a standard VAX text file, all control characters will
be stripped from the input stream, and only linefeeds will cause a newline.
 This procedure can be used to capture anything from the AMS that you can 
get it to send to the terminal.

*******************************************************************************
P.S.
If for some reason you want a binary file with all data as it appears in 
the input stream, type:-

$ UPL - fred.dat
Uploading binary from AMS to file fred.dat, Type Control Z to terminate

Now all data in the input stream will go to fred.dat. But remember that some
control characters will be trapped by VMS. (ie ^Y, ^C, ^S, ^Q etc.)
and ^Z of course will still terminate the input stream.

To be really perverse and capture all binary data you must set your term to
PASTHRU. See HELP SET TERM/PAS. But BEWARE!!!!!!
