Short: Vmsalert - part of an VMS emulator for Amiga computers Author: is@beverly.rhein.de (Ignatios Souvatzis) Type: misc/emu NAME vmsalert - VMS emulator vor Amiga computers testalert - test program for vmsalert SYNOPSIS (from a shell:) run vmsalert testalert 0x80000004 DESCRIPTION This program emulates the most important part of an VMS system on your Amiga. You can stop it by sending it a CTRL_C signal. INSTALLATION To install, unpack the archive, and run vmsalert You can test proper operation with the testalert program. It takes a single parameter, an unsigned long number in hex or decimal notation (anything a standard strtoul can digest). Intuition.library V33 is required. KNOWN BUGS As of version 1.8, you get 8 Enforcer hits with deadend alerts. As you should reboot in this case, this is harmless. Ok, ok, it is even harmless if you decide NOT to reboot... they are longword reads of memory. This will be fixed in the next version. The stack and register dump format is not perfect yet.
