The Beagles disclosed AppleWorks technical info in the form of a 30-page handout and a 3.5" floppy. The handout contained complete information on all AppleWorks routines which can be called from TimeOut applications, an AppleWorks memory map, and documentation on the format of the TimeOut header. The disk contains equate files for various useful AppleWorks internal locations, source code for three real live TimeOut applications, and a TimeOut memory peeker (which allows you to display the status of AppleWorks' memory manager while running AppleWorks). Neat stuff for developers. The ProDev DDT card is a hardware debugging card. You can run your machine language program at full speed (or at a slow speed, or one instruction at a time) while viewing debugging information (register contents, instruction mnemonics, memory contents) on the screen. You can interrupt any running program and drop into the debugger (with the attatched "hot key"). You can set various kinds of breakpoints, and run your code at full speed until one of the breakpoints is encountered. You can define areas of memory (such as DOS) to always run at fast speed, and other areas to always run at slow speed. You can run a program on one computer while viewing debugging info on another computer. It's IIe only, but they are working on a IIgs version. Cost is $189... for tomorrow's trick, I'll look up the company's address and post it. /\ Jerry Kindall JerryK@cup.portal.com \/ Death to COBOL GEnie: A2.JERRY ALink: A2 Jerry
