Module id number: CSS/214
--------------------------

Module name:      MXDAF
-----------------------------------

Actual release:   04.01            Release date: 860617
-----------------------            --------------------

Previous release: 03.03            Release date: 860312
-----------------------            --------------------




New facilities:
---------------

>> 0401 <<

   Many small changes to update the program to work with Kernel version
   5 or later.

   Default for <page> in DUMPs is changed to last page.

>> 0301 <<

   PU's with a memory span of two megawords are supported.

   Dumps need not be preceded by a memory map. Instead the
   start address must be supplied.

   The MXDAF (dump analysis facility) is able to analyze
   a complete memory dump from a CR80-MXAMOS-computer and display it
   in a symbolic way.
   If a certain memory location  can't be interpreted the right way
   it will be displayed as a hex-digit. A pointer to a certain data-
   structure is displayed as an index, f.ex.: a reference to a PCB is
   displayed as that PCB's logical-id. An illegal reference is displayed
   as: ill-ref, ilref, ill or in a similar way.

   The dump to be analyzed must either be generated by the MX-Boot-Loader-
   command: UD, as described in document no: CSS/7327/PSP/0111 issue 3,
   or be a consecutive dump with a start address given as a parameter to
   MXDAF.

   Invokation:
     MXDAF I:<dump-file> [C:<command-file>] [O:<output-file>]
           [S:<start addr>] <CR>

     If command-file and/or output-file are not specified the default
     files are current input and current output.

Changes:
--------

>> 0401 <<

   You may LOCK a process without UNLOCKing the previous.

   The BCS support module 'DS' is version 1.2 .

   The TIME is read from the locations used by Kernel version 5.

   When start address is omitted in DUMP then last address +1 is
   assumed.

   Default count in DUMP is last count and not 8.

>> 0303 <<

   4 Megaword PU's supported. Note that there must be memory in the
   first megaword.

>> 0301 <<

    Repeated patterns are suppressed in DUMP . The first and last line
    are dumped in the usual way but the rest is replaced by three dots
    ...

Errors corrected:
-----------------

>> 0401 <<

   Error in displaying BCS buffers corrected.

   A bound violation occurred when shift operators were used in CALC
   mode.

   Loops in lists e.g. CPU ready lists could make the program loop.

   Compressed dumps were sometimes shortened. (PR86361)

Reported errors, not corrected:
-------------------------------

CPECRs implemented in current release: PR 86361
