SYSGEN
Advanced Programmer's Command
SYSGEN
[([switch] [,] [DRIVE = drive])]
creates a configuration file
on
drive to store information about your
system.
You can use SYSGEN
to
create a file of current device and driver
configurations that you want TRSDOS to
execute each time you
return your computer
to
the TRSDOS copyright and start-up message.
If
you do not specify drive, it defaults to Drive
0.
The switch
is
either YES or
NO.
If you specify switch as YES, then your system creates a
configuration file.
If
you don't specify switch, then YES is assumed.
If you specify
switch as
NO,
then your system removes the
configuration file. However, your system's current configuration does
not change until you reset your computer.
When you issue a SYSGEN command, all current device and driver
configurations
are stored
in
a file named CONFIG/SYS. The file is
invisible
in
the directory.
Each time you reset your computer, the configuration stored
in
this file
is loaded into memory. If
you
don't want this configuration loaded into
memory, hold down the
(CLEAR)
key when you reset the system (see
the BOOT command).
When you start up or reset your computer, it is configured before any
AUTO command executes.
The configuration file CONFIG/SYS contains:
• All active background tasks (such as CLOCK, DEBUG,
TRACE, etc.).
• All filtering, linking, routing, and device setting (including
RS-232C and
KI
settings).
• All programs that
were loaded into high memory above
HIGH$. All memory from HIGH$ to the top of memory is
written to CONFIG/SYS. HIGH$ can be set with the MEMORY
command or with the @HIGH$ supervisor call
(see the
Technical Reference Manual).
• The present state of the VERIFY library command (YES or
NO).
•
All
Device Control Blocks (see the Technical Reference
Manual for more information).
