Softinka - The functions of the operating system ZXVGS.
Options ZXVGS
All functions ZXVGS caused by RST # 08
with the number of functions in the next byte (hook
code). The program continues to address
lying for hook code.
RST # 08
DEFB function
In the following tables the column labeled "input" describes
the registers containing the function arguments. Column marked
"exit" - the register in which function returns, and other
registers are unchanged. The contents of AF at the entrance
ignored, the state F at the exit is not defined. In some cases,
the function can set the 7-bit register R, it would mean that
one or more screen interrupt was missed.
Byte value after RST 8.

* Commands are processed through DISCiPLE
MGT.RZX and BD1.RZX.
Internal call ROM
Code # 7F is reserved for internal use
system.
Used to call ZX Rom from the system.
Joysticks
Note. Function calls # 80 .. # 83 can
be interrupted by the user. To avoid
exit without saving the results, use # A3 (will be available in
future versions).
Perhaps the use of 4 independent joysticks. Usually used the
first two. The meaning of bits 0 .. 4 is compatible with the
value from the port of Kempston joystick (# 1F, b0 = right, b1
= left, b2 = down, b3 = up, b4 = fire). Bit 5 - the second fire
(usually not used). Bits 6 and 7 are common to all joysticks
represent two more buttons. Bit 6 (HALT) can cause delays in
the game (when fitted) or activate the option. Bit 7 (EXIT) can
interrupt the game or cause a transition the main menu.
The specification calls:

# 83 J3 read joystick 3 - A = state
Using a Mouse
You can use an external mouse (operated outside the main
program), as well as generates an interrupt. The problem of
computing absolute coordinates, drawing a pointer and
track events are on your programme.Dlya use the mouse in any
management programs with the following requirements:
1. Disable interrupts! Turn on IM 2.
2. Set the value of the register I (preferably # 80 .. # FE).
It must not point in ROM!
3. Fill in the interrupt table (257
bytes from the address I * 256) identical bytes.
Beware! Some types of mice (AMX) generate vectors IM 2!
4. At the address indicated interrupt table, place:
NOP
NOP
NOP
JP ownint
"Ownint" - address maintenance procedures
preryvaniy.Esli you do not need a handler, you can put EI: RETI
instead transition.
5. Book 128B buffer for maintenance procedures mouse. Put the
address this buffer in the HL (# 5B00 .. # FF80). You do not
will have to spoil this area after
setting your mouse.
6. Book a byte to store the horizontal smescheniya.Pomestite
his address in BC.
7. Book a byte to store vertical displacement. Put his address
in DE.
8. Call the function # 84. She will fill
buffer and the area under the NOPs. And in the case
need to replace the interrupt table.
9. Allow me to interrupt!
For older programs, it is recommended to put XOR A: RET in the
beginning of the buffer to avoid crashes when you call to
initialize the mouse.
Coordinates will be changed to the specified address. They are
all 8-bit. You can only read them and compare with the
standards for opredeneniya changes. To test buttons
simply call the procedure from the beginning of the buffer. It
will return the state of the buttons in A, preserving the
values of other registers (b0 = left button, b1 = right; bit
set indicates the press). Please note that some types of mice
(RS232, AMX) can generate its own interrupt, useless for our
program. All non-staff interrupts are "eaten" (return address
is removed from the stack). And if the return address refers to
the byte after the command HALT, it will be decremented to
continue to HALT human interruption. The mouse can be
deactivated by specifying 0 as a buffer address (in HL). Data
returned in this case, are useful for the RSX
- They help to disable the driver used by the main program,
connect your driver to process the request, after which
turn off your driver and return the driver of the main program.

Memory banks
These functions, you can manage up to 4MB
memory. (What does the result 4128kB mode
16kB 8208kB mode or 32kB.)
Introduction
There is a 16kB RAM switchable in the upper
(Section D) of memory (# C000 .. # FFFF).
It is possible to use virtual
memory banks, the contents of which will move the software.
Banks # 00 .. # 07 preferred and can be switched quickly, the
individual functions # B0 .. # B7 with no arguments.
The Bank must be opened before the operation with
him. If the opening is not enough memory
(RAM in case of non-virtual banks or
external memory for virtual), generated a fatal error. Pre-
Check the free space!
Outdoor pot filled with zeros. Options
do not check the PC, SP and I, so using them in the wrong
context can cause a system crash.
If, for hardware reasons it is impossible to switch the top
quarter of memory available only virtual banks (with a long
switching time). If the hardware can only reasons to switch
both the upper quarter of the memory simultaneously (32kB, #
8000 .. # FFFF), then switching the top quarter of the
simulated with or without rewriting another quarter (section
C). In this case, can not open bank switching
quickly and not debasing this section C. She
copied when it opens.
There are three types of banks:
1. Individual - numbers 0 .. 15 - each can be opened in his
regime. 2. Parametric - numbers 16 to the return value of
function A # BF. This group exists only if the function # BF
returns greater than 15. Open mode is determined for the first
public bank in this group and will be the same for others. 3.
Virtual - numbers in excess of the value returned by the # BF.
This group exists only if the function returns # BF A value
less than 255. Open mode determined for the first public bank in
group and will be the same for others. These
Banks can only be opened as virtual. To open the first virtual
Bank at least one of the real banks
should be opened as a slow (bit 0 in
Register D dropped) - he will replace the state
on virtual and will be used for
Storage of virtual memory (banks, particularly public, preserve
the real state).
Options
Options # B0 .. # B7 choose one of the privileged
bankov.Funktsiya # B8 choose any bank - his number is
transferred in register E.
Function # B9 provides information about banks.
Function # BA used to get a piece of code switching banks. For
more details see next section.
# BB function copies the contents of section C
all open 32kB pages, or ignored in the case of 16kB-page mode.
Function # BC tries to open the Bank E and D mode and returns
udavshiysya regime D. See the table settings.
Function # BD closes bank E. If E is included in the current
bank, then contents of the top quarter of the memory is not
defined (ie, may contain ROM or # FF-s) to select another bank.
Function # BE closes all banki.Soderzhimoe
top quarter of the RAM is undefined.
# BF function returns the register number of the E
current bank, and in case D his regime.
The register B returns the number of open bankov.Registr A
contains a number of additional banks (except virtual):
* 0 - 48 kB (standard ZX48)
* 1 - 64 kB (32kB usually one bank, so called ZX80kB)
* 2 - 80 kB (two additional bank -
usually 16kB)
* 5 - 128 kB (five additional banks
- ZX128)
* 6 - 144 kB (view extended TC2048)
* 27 - 480 kB (Pentagon 512kB two
reserved pages)

Function # BA - fast switching banks
Allows banks to click a lot faster.
Follow these instructions:
1. Determine whether your program
work in a 32kB page mode. If
not, use mode% XXXXXX11 (will not be
to work on some types of equipment).
Otherwise, 32kB or 16kB.
Make sure stack and interrupts.
2. Open a bank function # BC.
3. Book 32B for the program to switch pages. Program moveable.
To use the program without moving it, you can fill the buffer
with zeros, and place it in its complete programmu.Ili 33 bytes
code "RET" (# C9), or "JP (HL)" (# E9), depending on the
structure of your program.
4. Book two bytes in the
# 5B00 .. # 7FFE, put their address in BC at
the first call to # BA (then BC will be
ignored).
5. Call the # BA to put
Package include Bank E at HL. Function returns the actual
length of the code in the BC and the number of ticks in A. DE
point to the byte after the code so you can add (using LDIR) go
your own code. 6. To select the bank, call this code.
Remember!
* Each bank has its own program of inclusion.
* (!!!) Code can be moved anywhere
place and at any time.
* Code MUST NOT be used after the closure of the bank!
The code, issued by the function # BA, no longer
32 bytes.
* He always spoils AF, BC, and sometimes, but
that uses the stack.
* To call any function ZXVGS you MUST call the code that
includes a page that stood before the first call of these codes
(the latter bank, selected functions # B0 .. # B8). * Code
MUST be in the bank, which He vklyuchet.Problem not occur when
placing the code in the address # 4000 .. # 7FFF. After placing
it in the address # 8000 .. # BFFF you can call a function to
copy the # BB it in other banks. But if you want
use it with the addresses # C000 .. # FFFF, you
themselves must copy it in the included
page.
* In some cases (such as emulators) function returns the # BA
# FF, which means that the code contains a function call
# B8. Remember the stack!

If the handle is given as 0, it will close all open files.
# D1 function opens a file for reading (returns an error if the
file does not exist). # D2 function opens a file for writing -
delete an existing file and create a new,
zero length.
Function # D3 opens the file and read, and
on zapis.Esli file does not exist, it will
created with the first record.
Options # D4 .. # D7 are used for reading and
record file. Options # D4 # D5 and remit
the number of bytes (returns
The number of bytes transferred in fact - if
it is less than requested, an error is generated). # D6
function reads bytes from a file to limit or to the values #
00 or # 0D (including them). Function # D7 writes bytes to Byte
# 00, which is not recorded. It can be written only when the
first byte in line.
# D8 function returns the current position in
file. # D9 function allows you to move
current position in the file and returns the old position in
fayle.Smeschenie counted depending on the register B: # FF means
"From the beginning," # 00 "from the current position", and # 01
Since the end of a file. Error value is returned if crossed the
start or end file. Addressing capabilities file of up to
8MB (23-bit addresses).
Function # DA says, is whether the current
position at end of file (EOF).
# DB function truncates the file to the current position.
Following features - an almost direct calls
systemic structure FILEDISK. Its definition can still be
changed in the future.

Files with the headline
Options # E0 .. # E7 operate on files with a title (like tape).
Before calling a function # E4 .. # E6 type header must be set
to one of the functions # E0 .. # E3. This setting is valid
until the next call to any of the functions
# E0 .. E3. If the file exists, then in certain registers,
return values, taken from the title of this fayla.Esli file is
missing or the type of title does not conformity is not, it
returns an error indication. Error can be ignored if it made an
entry in the file, but Reading such a file will always result in
an error.
At the entrance to the function # E3 buffer size indicated in
BC. The length returned in BC, is limited to this size, whereas
the DE contains the actual size. This is to avoid the
limitations of tape - you can not upload a real tape the first
few byte file length, and its checksum could not be verified.
Also, BC = # 1B00 and HL = # 4000 are recognized as your wish
download or burn the screen (although you
can download it and save from other
addresses).
Reading and writing an error if we assume
or recorded fewer bytes than trebovalos.V
this case, check the BC.
The operation verification is equivalent to reading and
occurs both on tape - error if the data is different or the
file is too short.
Function # E7 vyzavaetsya before # E4 .. # E6. Allows you to
set the offset, which gives the possibility of sequential access
file. This means, for example, the reading of successive parts
of a file in different banks memory. Error is returned when the
position goes through the end of the file. Options
# E0 .. # E3 always set the offset to 0
(Immediately after the title).
Calling any of the functions # E4 .. # E7 without calling one
of the # E0 .. # E3 causes a fatal error.
File with the headline can be up to 65535 bytes
long (not including the header). Rest
cut off. The header format may vary in different file systems.
Therefore, discouraged processing files with a title with the
help of other functions, except when a file or a screen play
shipment.
For files with extensions other than
". CZX", ". DZX", ". DAT", ". ROM", ". SCR", called
sootvetstvyuschee RSX. So you can, for example, download data
or BASIC program from a file "*. Z80"! For details, see the
documentation for the RSX.

Screen Files
To read or write Spectrum screens can be used and the function
# E8 # E9. Operation always involves 6912
bytes of memory. Separating these functions allows you to
convert graphics from / to different image formats. Recorded
screen is 256x192 pixels and 16 colors, but there may

In future releases will be used ZXVGS
RSX to read and write images with extensions other than ". SCR"
and ". CZX". These functions can also be shown on the screen
dialog with a list of valid formats if
was not given the file extension or file for
reading is missing, or the name of the file is empty.
Other display modes are also supported.

Perhaps an indication of the default name and the restriction
of choice mask. The mask can be edited by the user, which means
zaisklyucheniem "*/", choice of directory. There is also the
title of the operation. To view the results (with path) to
reserve 128 bytes a buffer. Functions return an error if
file selector was abandoned on the button

Printer
The function returns # F0 control code
printera.V register E is given a code number,
in HL - address of buffer for him. In BC sets the maximum
length (B is ignored - should be 0). When control codes placed
in the clipboard, BC (B = 0) contains a number of characters,
and A is 0. If the buffer was too small, BC returns the
required size, and A> 0.Esli control code is not available,
then BC = 0 and A> 0.
Function # F1 sends the requested control code directly to
printer.Sm.takzhe function # F0.
# F2 function equivalent to the command BASIC
