4E00H - Entry Point

 
ORG 4E00H

Since DEBUG is going to need to use all registers for itself, but yet leave them undisturbed for the program being debugged, it is necessary to preserve all registers, so the next bunch of steps do just that.

4E00
PUSH AF
Save Register AF to the top of the STACK.
4E01
PUSH IY
Save Register IY to the top of the STACK.
4E03
PUSH IX
Save Register IX to the top of the STACK.
4E05
EX AF,AF'
EXchange the value stored in Register Pair AF' with the value stored in Register Pair AF.
4E06
EXX
EXchange all Register Pairs for their Alternate
4E07
PUSH HL
Save Register HL to the top of the STACK.
4E08
PUSH DE
Save Register DE to the top of the STACK.
4E09
PUSH BC
Save Register BC to the top of the STACK.
4E0A
PUSH AF
Save Register AF to the top of the STACK.
4E0B
EX AF,AF'
EXchange the value stored in Register Pair AF' with the value stored in Register Pair AF.
4E0C
EXX
EXchange all Register Pairs for their Alternate
4E0D
PUSH HL
Save Register HL to the top of the STACK.
4E0E
PUSH DE
Save Register DE to the top of the STACK.
4E0F
PUSH BC
Save Register BC to the top of the STACK.
4E10
PUSH AF
Save Register AF to the top of the STACK.

With all the registers now preserved in the STACK, we next copy the STACK to 4108H and on to save them.

4E11
LD HL,0000H
We want to copy the STACK Pointer into HL, but there is no easy way to do that, so we will need to ADD SP to HL. Naturally, we need to first set Register Pair HL = 0000H as a base for math.
4E14
ADD HL,SP
ADD the value held in Register Pair SP to Register Pair HL, so that HL now points to the bottom of the area where the registers are saved. This is setting up to do a LDIR to REALLY save all those registers into an area of RAM.
4E15
LD DE,MEM+8
      [4108H]
LET Register Pair DE = 4108H, which is the bottom of the storage area where those registers are going to get preserved.
4E18
LD BC,0018H
LET Register Pair BC = 0018H (Decimal: 24) because there are 24 register pairs to save.
4E1B
LDIR
Move all those registers into 4108H+ via a LDIR which transfers a byte of data from the memory location pointed to by HL to the memory location pointed to by DE. Then HL and DE are incremented and BC is decremented. If BC is not zero, this operation is repeated. Interrupts can trigger while this instruction is processing.
4E1D
LD (MEM+28),HL
[411CH]
Store the value held in Register HL (i.e., the old STACK pointer) into the memory location 411CH for safekeeping.
4E20
LD A,(442BH)
Fetch the value stored at memory location 442BH and put it into Register A.
NOTE: 442BH is the storage location for the OVERLAY FLAG flag.
4E23
RES 4,A
RESet (i.e., set as 0) BIT 4 of Register A to designate that OVERLAY 6 is not in RAM.
4E25
LD (442BH),A
Store the value held in Register A into the memory location 442BH.
NOTE: 442BH is the storage location for the OVERLAY FLAG flag.

Check to see what the OP CODE was when DEBUG was invoked, and also see if it was from a RST 30H call or not.

4E28
LD SP,HL
LET Register Pair SP = Register Pair HL (i.e., the ORIGINAL STACK pointer); to reset the STACK now that the running program's registers have all been preserved.
4E29
LD HL,(MEM+30)
       [411EH]
Fetch the value stored at memory location 411EH (i.e., the Program Counter for the running program) and put it into Register HL.
4E2C
DEC HL
Back up 1 instruction by DECrementing the value stored in Register Pair HL.
4E2D
LD A,(HL)
Fetch the value stored at memory location pointed to by Register Pair HL (i.e., the command which was just run) and put it into Register A.
4E2E
CP 0F7H
Compare the value held in Register A against 0F7H (i.e.,. the OPCODE for RST 30H) to see if DEBUG was initiated by a RST 30H call. Results: If Register A equals RST 30H, the Z FLAG is set; otherwise the NZ FLAG is set.
4E30
JR NZ,START2
      [4E35H]
If the NZ FLAG (Not Zero) is set then the OPCODE was not RST 30H, meaning that this wasn't a breakpoint, so JUMP to "START2" (i.e., 4E35H).
4E32
LD (MEM+30),HL
[411EH]
Store the value held in Register HL (i.e., the Program Counter for the running program MINUS 1) into the memory location 411EH.

If this was a RST 30H call, we need to see if DEBUG was involked by a breakpoint.

4E35
"START2"
LD HL,MEM
[4100H]
LET Register Pair HL = 4100H (i.e., a RAM area where the BREAKPOINTS are stored).
4E38

4E3B
LD C,02H
LET Register C = 02H for absolutely no reason.

4E41
LD (HL),A
Store the value held in Register A (i.e., a ZERO) into the memory location pointed to by Register Pair HL; thus clearing that breakpoint.
4E42
INC HL
Bump the value stored in Register Pair HL (i.e., the BREAKPOINT storage area) by 1.
4E43
4E44
LD A,E
OR D
Since there is no way to check Register Pair DE against zero, a common trick is to load one-half of the register pair into Register A and then OR that against the other half othe register pair. Only if both halves were 0 will Register A be 0.
4E45
JR Z,START4
     [4E4EH]
If the Z FLAG (Zero) is set, meaning that the breakpoint address was ZERO, JUMP to 4E4EH to move to the next breakpoint.
4E47

4E48
CP 0F7H
Compare the value held in Register A against 0F7H (i.e.,. the OPCODE for RST 30H) to see if DEBUG was initiated by a RST 30H call. Results: If Register A equals RST 30H, the Z FLAG is set; otherwise the NZ FLAG is set.
4E4A
JR NZ,START4
      [4E4EH]
If the NZ FLAG (Not Zero) is set then the OPCODE was not RST 30H, so JUMP to 4E4EH to move to the next breakpoint.

Compare the value held in Register A against 30H (ASCII: 0). Results:
  • If Register A equals 0, the Z FLAG is set.
  • If A < 0, the CARRY FLAG will be set.
  • if A >= 0, the NO CARRY FLAG will be set.
54D5
JR C,DIGIT1
     [54D0H]
If the C FLAG (Carry) is set because A < 0, then the character is too low, so JUMP back to 54D0H.
54D7
CP 3AH
Compare the value held in Register A against 3AH (ASCII: 1 more than 9). Results:
  • If Register A equals 1 more than 9, the Z FLAG is set.

     [54E3H]
If the C FLAG (Carry) is set because A < 1 more than 9, then we have a digit, so JUMP to 54E3H.
54DB
CP 41H
Compare the value held in Register A against 41H (ASCII: A). Results:
  • If Register A equals A, the Z FLAG is set.
  • If A < A, the CARRY FLAG will be set.
  • if A >= A, the NO CARRY FLAG will be set.
54DD
JR C,DIGIT1
     [54D0H]
If the C FLAG (Carry) is set because A < A, then the character is too low (because we already know its not a digit, and everything else down there is invalid), so JUMP back to 54D0H.
54DF
CP 47H
Compare the value held in Register A against 47H (ASCII: 1 more than F). Results:
  • If Register A equals 1 more than F, the Z FLAG is set.
  • If A < 1 more than F, the CARRY FLAG will be set.
  • if A >= 1 more than F, the NO CARRY FLAG will be set.
54E1
JR NC,DIGIT1
      [54D0H]
If the NC FLAG (No Carry) is set because A >= 1 more than F, then the character is too high, so JUMP back to 54D0H.

If we are here, then we know the rotated register A is 0-9 or A-F.

5506
LD A,0FH
LET Register A = 0FH to indicate CURSOR ON.
5508

EI
Enable Interrupts.
550C
JP KEY
   [0049H]

GOSUB to 4439H in OVERLAY 1 which is the WRITE VECTOR.
5515
JP NZ,BERR
     [5405H]
If the NZ FLAG (Not Zero) is set, then the WRITE VECTOR call produced an error, so JUMP to 5405H to handle the diskette-related error.
5518
GOSUB to 4445H which is the BACKSPACE VECTOR (i.e., Back Up To the Previous Record in a File) in Overlay 1.
551B
JP CONT0
     [5330H]
JUMP to 5330H to re-display the current page and continue.

551EH - Convert an ASCII Hexidecimal Number (stored in A) to Decimal (stored in A). On Entry Register E holds the LSB of the cursor position and on exit that is increased by 1

551E
"MAKHEX"
SUB 30H
SUBtract the value 30H from Register A, thus converting an ASCII number to Decimal.
5520
CP 0AH
Compare the value held in Register A against 0AH (Decimal: 10). Results:
  • If Register A equals 10, the Z FLAG is set.
  • If A < 10, the CARRY FLAG will be set.
  • if A >= 0AH, the NO CARRY FLAG will be set.
5522
RET C
If A < 10 then the C FLAG (Carry) will be set and we need to RETurn to the caller.
5523
SUB 07H
Convert "A"-"F" to 10-15 by SUBtracting the value 07H from Register A.
5525
RET
RETurn to the caller.
