Program Name: SLOAD.COM

Objective: INTEL HEX LOADER

Syntax: SLOAD [du:]source[.ext]  [du:][destination[.ext]]

Programmer: Harris Landsberg

Notes: This program is similar to Digital Research's LOAD.COM with a few
  minor exceptions. One, all unfilled space within the program is binary
  zero filled. Two, it can create binary images that do not start at the
  manditory 0100H start address. This is needed for assembling code at a
  given location without the use of .PHASE that is usually not available
  with most assemblers that produce Intel Hexidecimal format files. This
  program can also access a different user area and, also, can place the
  output on another drive and/or user area.

Misc: On floppy disk systems there will be less disk accessing since the
  output is buffered entirely in memory before it goes to disk. Possible
  errors encountered are read errors including invalid hexidecimal digit
  or incorrect checksum and disk write error if there is not enough disk
  space or directory entries. If you do not enter a destination name the
  output will go to the same name. You may specify just a drive/user for
  the destination then the destination will have the same name as source
  as given. The default file extensions are: .HEX for the input file and
  .COM for the output file. It is a good idea to change the extension of
  of the output if it does not start at 0100H.

Requirements: This program runs on under CP/M-80 on machines with a 8080,
  8085 or Z-80 processor series. All arguments must be given at the time
  the program is evoked since there is no prompting for parameters. This
  program is known to run under Z-80 emulators if any one is interested.

Addenda: This software program is being released into the public domain.
  It may not be sold or be bundled with another software product unless
  the express permission has been granted by the author. The source may
  be modified, but may not be distributed once modified. This is to keep
  the integrity of the software program.
