A couple of comments:

ODT actually stands for On-line Debugging Tool, not Online Debugging
Technique.

You display the map file after linking with /debug, but the actual map
file included was not from linking with /debug. :-)

Johnny,

I have fixed the map.

Great.

  With regards to ODT, the documentation calls it On-line Debugging
Technique all over the place - from the System Utilities Manual -
"On-line debugging technique (ODT) is a program that aids assembly
language programs", from the Introduction to RT-11 Manual - "For
MACR0-11 users, RT-11 provides a special on-line debugging tool called
ODT (On-line Debugging Technique)." I agree it sounds weird, but I
didn't dream it up.

Interesting. In the RSX manuals it clearly says On-line Debugging Tool.

Oh well, keep with what the RT-11 manuals says.

I have confirmed that ;B does delete all breakpoints, but as you
suggest, so does B by itself and nB will delete the specified
breakpoint. G by itself doesn't work in this version of ODT (5.08). The
address and semicolon are required. If a relocation register is set, the
address can be relative to the relocation register. I took all of the
ODT commands straight from the Utilities Manual and Introduction. I
think the version as distributed in RT-11 v5.3 may work slightly
differently from the RSX version.

Ok. So it is differences from either RSX, or some old vs. new version. Then you should keep it as is.

I agree with your point about word and byte boundaries. It felt awkward
when I wrote it and then I got antsy and impatient to get done :). I'll
fix it up.

Yes, that one was actually the first thing that caught my eye. I think consistency is important.

I'll have to play around with the current directory stuff and then I'll
edit that section as well.

You mean the current/default device... ;-)
