Using the HP 64000
Reader
An HP 64000 “reader” is provided with the PC Interface. The
HP 64000 Reader converts the files into two files that are usable with
your emulator. This means that you can use available language tools to
create HP 64000 absolute files, then load those files into the emulator
using the PC Interface.
The HP 64000 Reader can operate from within the PC Interface or as a
separate process. When operating the HP 64000 Reader, it may be
necessary to execute it as a separate process if there is not enough
memory on your personal computer to operate the PC Interface and HP
64000 Reader simultaneously. You can also operate the reader as part
of a “make file.”
What the Reader
Accomplishes
Using the HP 64000 files (<file.X>, <file.L>, <scr1.A>, <scr2.A>, ...)
the HP 64000 Reader will produce two new files, an “absolute” file and
an ASCII symbol file, that will be used by the PC Interface. These new
files are named: “<file>.hpa” and “<file>.hps.”
The Absolute File
During execution of the HP 64000 Reader, an absolute file (<file>.hpa)
is created. This absolute file is a binary memory image which is
optimized for efficient downloading into the emulator.
The ASCII Symbol File
The ASCII symbol file (<file>.hps) produced by the HP 64000 Reader
contains global symbols, module names, local symbols, and, when
using applicable development tools such as a “C” compiler, program
