I was attempting to bring up Kermit V. 2.26 on a Zenith Z-100 when I found a truly wonderful bug. DEBUG (at least the 2.0 version) breaks the Kermit command processor. When Kermit is run without the debugger, the command processor works fine. When Kermit is run under DEBUG, the command processor will no longer accept commands. All it will do is print ?Illegal command and nothing else. I believe that what is happening is that the code around cmky2x is being trashed (discovered by tracing through the command processor). So. Does anyone have a working version of DEBUG, and if not, does anybody know of a debugger that will debug Kermit?? Thanks, Eric C. Brown brownc@utah-cs ..!harpo!utah-cs!brownc Hacking.. It's not just a job, it's an obsession.

Brown For a really GREAT debugger try Genesis Microsystems in Mountain View, Calif.. Their debugger is called GENESCOPE. It uses split screens and allows symbolic code and data labels to be used in all sorts of neat ways. The only problem is that it is expensive. I'm not sure of the cost since I didn't pay for it, my employer did, so I'd rather let you find that out for yourself. Sorry I can't say from experience whether or not you'll have the same problem with debugging KERMIT. -- Fred Elliott Advanced Micro Devices (MCSD) (408)988-7777 {ucbvax,decwrl,ihnp4,allegra,intelca}!amd70!fredel
