;; This program provides the framework for the installation of a Resident System ;; Extension (an RSX). ;; ;; An RSX is a command which is accessed from basic by prexifing the command ;; with the '|' symbol. ;; ;; e.g. An RSX could provide a "MEMEDIT" command, which allows the user ;; to edit the RAM contents. It would be accessed from BASIC by typing: ;; ;; |MEMEDIT ;; ;; This program shows how an RSX is set up. You are free to use this ;; example code to create your own RSX's. ;; ;; Kevin Thacker 1993 .kl_log_ext equ &bcd1 ;; this can be any address in the range &0040-&a7ff. org &8000 ;;------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ;; install RSX ld hl,work_space ;;address of a 4 byte workspace useable by Kernel ld bc,jump_table ;;address of command name table and routine handlers jp kl_log_ext ;;Install RSX's .work_space ;Space for kernel to use defs 4 ;;------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ;; RSX definition .jump_table defw name_table ;address pointing to RSX commands ;list of jump commands associated with each command ;The name (in the name_table) and jump instruction ;(in the jump_table), must be in the same ;order. ;i.e. the first name in the name_table refers to the ;first jump in the jump_table, and vice versa. jp RSX_1_routine ;routine for COMMAND1 RSX jp RSX_2_routine ;routine for COMMAND2 RSX jp RSX_3_routine ;routine for COMMAND3 RSX ;; the table of RSX function names ;; the names must be in capitals. .name_table defb "COMMAND","1"+&80 ;the last letter of each RSX name must have bit 7 set to 1. defb "COMMAND","2"+&80 ;This is used by the Kernel to identify the end of the name. defb "COMMAND","3"+&80 defb 0 ;end of name table marker ; Code for the example RSXs .RSX_1_routine ret .RSX_2_routine ret .RSX_3_routine ret
