1.6.9 MOVCPM Command
Syntax:
MOVCPM
The MOVCPM program allows you to reconfigure the CP/M system for any particular memory
size. Two optional parameters can be used to indicate the desired size of the new system and the
disposition of the new system at program termination. If the first parameter is omitted or an * is
given, the MOVCPM program reconfigures the system to its maximum size, based upon the
kilobytes of contigous RAM in the host system (starting at 0000H). If the second parameter is
omitted, the system is executed, but not permanently recorded; if * is given, the system is left in
memory, ready for a SYSGEN operation. The MOVCPM program relocates a memory image of
CP/M and places this image in memory in preparation for a system generation operation. The
following is a list of MOVCPM command forms:
MOYCPM Relocates and executes CP/M for management of the current memory
configuration (memory is examined for contiguous RAM, starting at
100H). On completion of the relocation, the new system is executed but
not permanently recorded on the disk. The system that is constructed
contains a BIOS for the Intel MDS 800.
MOVCPM n Creates a relocated CP/M system for management of an n kilobyte system
(n must be in the range of 20 to 64), and executes the system as described.
MOYCPM * * Constructs a relocated memory image for the current memory
configuration, but leaves the memory image in memory in preparation for
a SYSGEN operation.
MOYCPM n * Constructs a relocated memory image for an n kilobyte memory system,
and leaves the memory image in preparation for a SYSGEN operation.
