Abstract
Low-cost minicomputers in wide variety are finding application in control and monitoring tasks ranging from laboratory testing to network operation. One significant problem which arises from this circumstance is that a significantly larger minicomputer system than is needed to perform the primary tasks must be acquired to do convenient software development. Consequently, work has been underway for some time to facilitate software development for the minimal configuration minicomputer using the Medium-Scale Xerox Data Systems Sigma 5. This article describes a general-purpose memory display program which runs on the Sigma 5 to dump memory images of minicomputer software to a printer or other man-readable device. The dump is formatted, as specified by controlcard options, into machine-language instructions, character strings, or virtually whatever word/byte/field format is meaningful to the current problem.
