Could anyone offer suggestions as to why macsbug will not load on the following configuration: Mac II Turbo Pascal 1.1 System 6.02 Finder 6.1 The MacsBug is located in the system folder. At power up the message 'MacsBug loaded' fails to appear below the usual 'Welcome to Macintosh' greeting. The failure of it to load is confirmed when trying to call MacsBug from within TurboPascal which results in a system error of unknown core routine. Thanks in advance Grant Sayer (grants%usage.csd.unsw.oz@munnari.oz)

Older versions will probably not work on a MacII. Do a get info on yours and see what version it is. Mine is v6.0B1. - Have you got the name right in the systems folder. Mine is spelled 'MacsBug'. If it is incorrect, then it will not be picked up at boot time. There are different MacsBugs for different machines, and they are named differently. You have to rename them to MacsBug. I hope one of these helps you. Stephen.

Earlier versions had trouble working on the Mac II (5.4 can in 5 flavors, I think, 4 of which were for Mac IIs of varying sizes). (MacsBug is currently version 6.0) Also, make sure that the file is not damaged, that the file is really MacsBug and not the old AutoBlack screen saver, and that the filename is exactly 'MacsBug' (case not significant). P.S. Watch your line length in the future - I had to edit this to read (and respond) to it. Bob Hablutzel Wildwood Software BOB@NUACC.ACNS.NWU.EDU
