Date: Tue, 4 Apr 89 07:33:42 EDT From: Tom Allebrandi To: fdc@watsun.cc.columbia.edu 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...
