Notational Conventions
This document uses the following conventions.
-
Program listings, program examples, and interactive displays are shown
in a
special typeface
similar to a typewriter’s. Examples use a
bold
version
of the special typeface for emphasis; interactive displays use a
bold version
of the special typeface to distinguish commands that you
enter from items that the system displays (such as prompts, command
output, error messages, etc.).
Here is a sample program listing of a bit file generated by the accumulator:
0x00809800 directive .word 1,2,3
0x00809800 0x00000001 <word>
0x00809801 0x00000002 <word>
0x00809802 0x00000003 <word>
Here is an example of a system prompt and a command that you might
enter:
C:\dsk3a testa
-
In syntax descriptions, the instruction, command, or directive is in a bold
typeface font and parameters are in an
italic typeface. Portions of a syntax
that are in bold should be entered as shown; portions of a syntax that are
in
italics describe the type of information that should be entered. Syntax
that is entered on a command line is centered in a bounded box. Syntax
that is used in a text file is left-justified in an unbounded box. Here is an
example of command-line syntax:
dsk3a filename
dsk3a is a command. The command invokes the assembler and has one
parameter,
filename, which is required. When you invoke the assembler,
you supply the name of the file that the assembler uses as input.
