DazzleStar Configuration

The configuration of the disassembler is driven by the configuration file, which is searched in the following way:

  1. The current directory is searched for "dzrc"
  2. The path "~/.dzrc" is used (user's home directory)
This file is plain text and consists of lines in the format "property = value". Long values may be extended to subsequent lines by using the back-slash to cause the subsequent line to be attached to the value.

The following properties control the basic functioning of the virtual computer:

code_win
The number of lines to display in the "Code Window" (disassemble code). Default is 24.
dump_win
The number of lines to display in the "Dump Window" (hex dump). Default is 6.
cursor_color
This selects the color to use for the "cursor" highlights in the Code and Dump windows. Note that this, background, and font_color need to be sufficiently contrasting. The value is a 6-digit hexadecimal number representing RGB. Default is yellow.
font_name
This specifies the style or exact name for the font to use in the Code and Dump windows. This font should be monospaced. Default is "Monospaced".
font_size
Define the font size to use. May be specified independently of font_name. Default is 10.0.
font_color
Selects the color for the font (foreground color) in Code and Dump windows. Note that this, background, and cursor_color need to be sufficiently contrasting. The value is a 6-digit hexadecimal number representing RGB. Default is black.
background
Selects the color for the background in Code and Dump windows. Note that this, font_color, and cursor_color need to be sufficiently contrasting. The value is a 6-digit hexadecimal number representing RGB. Default is to leave un-set, effectively using the JRE default.
status_font_size
Define the font size to use for the status line/pane. A Plain, Sans-Serif font style is always used. Default is 10.0.
disas
Select the mnemonics to use by default, "zilog" or "mac80". Default is "mac80".
