KWIKGEN (TM) v1.01 - Interactive boot file editor for OS-9 Level II (C) Copyright 1992 by Gale Force Enterprises all rights reserved Licensed from Sardis Technologies (C) 1988, 1990 Introduction - KWIKGEN has an in-memory edit buffer that lets you read in an entire existing OS9Boot file, modify it by adding or deleting or renaming or patching modules and changing the order of the modules in the buffer, then writes the new boot file back to disk and links to it; the kernel can also be written to disk. To exit a function, use control-BREAK at any prompt. Load - loads an existing OS9Boot file from the drive you specify (or from system memory) into the buffer, erasing any previous buffer contents Del - deletes the specified module from the buffer Ins - inserts into the buffer, immediately after the module you specify, one or more modules read in from the specified file on disk (also refer to the Chd command) Mov - moves the specified module to a new location in the buffer, immediately after any other specified module Ren - renames the specified module in the buffer Addr - lets you choose to display module names only, or to also display either the module size, the offset of the module from the beginning of the boot file, or the address at which the module will load into system memory Writ - writes out the new OS9Boot file from the buffer to the disk drive you specify (first deleting any old OS9Boot file on the disk), then updates LSN 0 with the size and location of the new boot file; does not write out the Kernel (use Krnl) Krnl - gets the Kernel from the drive you specify (or from system memory), then writes it to the drive you specify Shel - passes the command line you specify to the OS-9 Shell for execution; returns to KWIKGEN when done; lets you run such commands as DIR Chd - changes the current working data directory - used to point to the directory containing modules to be read in with the Ins command Pat - displays a module in hex and ASCII and lets you patch bytes. Module parity and CRC are updated upon exit. To get new prompts or exit use the control-BREAK key. Data/Cmd: HH - new 2 digit hex value 'A - new ASCII character "A - new ASCII (high bit) - incr. loc'n - incr. loc'n - decr. loc'n Quit - exits KWIKGEN and returns to OS-9 - any modules in the buffer are lost (use Writ before Quit)
