is
part
of
the
optional Vector 4 Programmer's manual
package,
it
has
been
included
here
in
order
to
explain
some
of
the
other
capabilities available
to
your Vector 4. The Vector 4 Programmer's package is

and productivity enhancement documentation.

LOAD.COM
This
program
is
part
of
the
package
used
for
creating
your
own .COM
(command) files. The LOAD
program
takes
a .HEX
file
and
copies
it
into
machine-executable
code.
(The
HEX
file
is
itself
the
product of
the
next
program.)
ZSM.COM
The
ZSM
program is
used
to
translate an assembly-language program (with an
extension of
.ASM)
into hexadecimal code (with
an
extension
of
.HEX).
This
HEX
file
is
in
turn
translated
by the
LOAD
program into machine code (the
specific instructions used by
the
computer
to
control
hardware operation). The
result is a command file,
ith
an
extension of .COM.
The
life
cycle of a
.COM
file is as follows:
Assembly language file
(PROGRAM.ASM)
created
through
text
editor (such
as
Vector Graphic's SCOPE program).
PROGRAM.ASM
file is
"assembled"
through
the
ZSM
program,
by
the
command:
ZSM
PROGRAM [RETURN]
This produces
files
PROGRAM.HEX
(the
hexadecimal code file, ready
to
be
translated
into
machine
code)
and
P
ROG
RAM.P
RN
(a
printer-ready file, paginated for documentation).
The .HEX
file
is
translated
into
machine
code
by
the
LOAD
program,
