Environmental Considerations
The iAPX 86,88 Family utilities run on the Series IV Microcomputer Development
System. These utilities can be used to produce code for an 8086-based host; the code
can be executed on the Series IV if the code is load-time locatable (L TL). Resulting
code is also compatible with DEBUG-86 and DEBUG-88 debuggers (if it is L TL
code) and with ICE-86 and ICE-88 emulators (if it is absolute code).
The following conventions of the Series IV operating system (iNDX) are
encountered when running the utilities:
•
Each of the utilities is invoked by entering the name of the file in which the
utility resides:
>
>
>
>
LINK86 MYPROG.OBJ, HERPRO.
ISYSTEM,DRIVE/LOC86 IWORKDR
OBJ, HISPRO.OBJ TO OURPRO<cr>
IVE1/PROG.LNK<cr>
•
The Series IV pathname consists of path components, each preceded by a slash
(I):
/SYSA/ JOHN/FILE.ABC
•
The directory-name is one or more path components consisting of 1 to 14
characters, inclusive. One of the directory-name path components may be a
"logical name." A logical name must be the first path component in a
path name and not preceded by a slash:
SYSJOHN/I'ILE.ABC
•
A logical name for some directory may be defined as a null string. Null logical
names do not appear in the pathname:
FILE.ABC
Examples in this appendix employ all these path name variations.
•
Continuation lines are necessary when a command or invocation will not fit on
one line. The following example illustrates the line-end conventions to use and
continuation characters to expect:
>
»
LINK86 MYPROG.OBJ,/WORKFIL
IWORKFILE2/PAS86/HISPRO.OB
Pathnames may not be split between lines.
•
The LIB86 utility presents an exception to these prompt conventions. Because
this program is interactive, it has its own prompts:
> 'I':I;,*,,,,
i
N D X 8086 LIB R A R I AN
Vx.
