mvBase Frame Allocations

mvBase currently has 1023 frames available for use by system and 3rd party software. The ‘modes’ (object code) for the software are loaded into the ‘ABS’ frames (or absolute address).

Certain frame number ranges are in use by, or reserved for, mvBase itself; others are reserved for use by 3rd party products. These latter frames are known as ‘User Frames’ for use by ‘User modes’ - mvBase will never use these, although other 3rd party products may.

We do not reserve any of these user frames for a specific product. 3rd party developers are free to use any combination of them. To avoid conflict with other 3rd party products, it may prudent to make 3rd party products’ code relocatable.

Frames reserved for USER modes

430-548     Except 489

There are several other blocks of frames used by Mentor Software products. If these will never be in concurrent use with a particular 3rd party product then they are also available:

549-575     Mentor/Link

620-660     CompuSheet

The first choice for frame numbers to use should be the USER reserved areas mentioned above.
