[comp.sys.amiga] Burn a Kbyte to make the Guru less intimidating

karl@sugar.UUCP (Karl Lehenbauer) (06/05/88)

I request that in 1.4 some code be added to the guru stuff to make it more 
useful and less intimidating to the ordinary spud.  What I'm thinking of
is print the task name if it can be found and looks printable, interpret
the error type textually and, last of all, maybe get rid of the word
"guru" completely, something like:

	SYSTEM CRASHED, a problem with WINDOWS (blown pointer), probably 
	from user task FOOBAR, blah blah blah

I've heard GOMF does something like this, tho' it's a system function and,
to stifle incessant criticism in this area, needs to be provided to all
users, i.e. included with a future release of the operating system.

Disclaimer:  I may not know what I'm talking about.
