1.0  INTRODUCTION

DMPFIL is a file dump  program;   it  reads  a  file  and  prepares  a
printable  version  of an octal dump of the file.  It will also dump a
DECtape block by block, dump a save file as a core  dump,  or  dump  a
disk file structure block by block.

2.0  OPERATING PROCEDURES


2.1  Assembly Instructions

          .COMPILE DMPFIL

There are no assembly options.


2.2  Run Instructions

          .R DMPFIL
          *OUTPUT file>_INPUT file>/Switches


2.2.1  Switches

          nnnnnnD - dump a DECtape, beginning at block nnnnnn (octal).
                    The dump includes a listing of the directory.

          nnnnnnF - Dump a disk file starting at  block  nnnnnn.   The
                    default  is  1  if /F is not specified, 0 if /F is
                    specified.  Note that block 0 is the RIB.

          nnnnnK - Assume that the file is a save file, dump it  as  a
                    core dump, beginning at loc nnnnnn.

          nnnnnnH - Assume that the file is a high segment save  file,
                    dump it as a core dump.

          nnnnnnS - Dump the disk beginning at  block  nnnnnn  (octal)
                    using SUPER USETI.

          nnnnnnT - Stop the dump at nnnnnn (octal).


2.2.2  Default Conditions

The default output file is LPT:name.LST
The default input file is DSK:name.ext.

The default is that the same filename is used as the input and  output
filename.   If a backarrow (_) is not in the command string, the input
file is specified.  An equal sign (=)  can  be  used  in  place  of  a
backarrow (_).  REENTER will close the files.
