| CS:offset, or CB:offset. |
count | This denotes the number of times a command executes. |
filename | This is the location (path) and name of the file you want to reference |

5.2FILE OPERATIONS
iECM-86 uses files in the host system to load and save object code, to enter predefined strings of commands, to keep a log of commands that are entered by the user, and to keep a record of an entire debug session that includes both the characters entered by the user and the responses generated by iECM-86 on the host screen. The commands that operate with files are described in the following sections.
5.2.1Loading and Saving Object Code
iECM-86 accepts object files that are generated by Intel’s development tools. iECM-86 will not accept files that contain unresolved externals or files that contain re-locatable records. These files must be passed through LINK86 and/or LOC86 to resolve the externals and/or absolutely locate the re-locatable segments. iECM-86 will also not accept HEX format files. The iECM-86 commands that operate on object files are the following:
LOAD filename
SAVE addr TO addr IN filename
The metasymbol filename means that a valid MS-DOS file name must be entered in that position of the command string.
LOAD filename | This command loads the content records of the object |
| file filename into the target memory. |
SAVE addr TO addr IN filename | This command saves a region of memory as an object |
| file that can be reloaded into the target memory at |
| some later time. |
