So, anyone knows an answer to this:
I need a debugger/patcher that's independent of
language, actually, independent of source code.
What I want to do is to be able to taken an APPL,
CODE resource or something like it, disassemble
it in the nice way that MacsBug 6.0 does, hack in
new assembler that replaces/extends the code, and
SAVE IT ALL BACK. MacsBug lets me do some of these
things, but I have to break out from inside the
running code. Preferrably I wouldn't have to run
the code in order to load it. Also, MacsBug only
has Hex format input, which is a little but TOO
much work for me. Finally, MacsBug can't save back
patches made to the code.
Anyone got any pointers/suggestions/PD software/
order forms for anything like it? (My previous
experience in these matters come from sdb & dbx
under UNIX and (don't laugh, it was a long time
ago) DDT under CP/M-80 and CP/M-86
Thanx in advance!

The only thing I have heard of is the MacNosy disassembler/debugger, which requires the MPW assembler for reassembling... crude but workable. Now, someone has asked about something called TMON. What is it ? Has it any ability to SAVE BACK changes made, which is what I want the most (apart from being able to load the code without having to execute it) Thanx for answers about MacNosy from: levin@BBN.COM, zben@camelot.UMD.EDU and holmes@apple.com (Just A Contractor) > -Kelesi I am, as you now will get to realize, -- h+@nada.kth.se <>,, Picture this recording studio somewhere far far away Jon W{tte (:))))=- Brrrrreeeee, you bugger!
