"The Debugger" (an add-on to MacNosy, I think) was touted in the APDALog as a source-level debugger that works with MPW C. Is this true? Have you used it? Did it work? Please reply by E-mail, and I'll post a summary. Thanks in advance. -- Mark McWiggins UUCP: uunet!intek01!mark DISCLAIMER: I could be wrong. INTERNET: intek01!mark@uunet.uu.net (206) 455-9935

I would assume that it would work well enough with MPW C, anything would help! I find that I get so much more work done with LSC that MPW's UNIX like shell doesn't make up for its slowness.

"The Debugger" is not actually an extension of Nosy (a static disassembler), but rather a very nice, reasonably complete (at last) debugging enviroment. Like TMON, it comes in at boot time or for particular applications. Unlike TMON, DEBUGGER has a very Mac-like windowing environment which is I think is quite powerful and has saved my neck and my time many times. It has tables of all the system RECORD fields and can do user defined ones as well. It has trap and jump record, discipline and programmable breakpoints etc. It is not yet "source level" unless you write in assembler, but it does use symbol tables from MPW or Lightspeed to name procedures and globals. In summary, I find it extremely useful and it was worth the price (mailorder is $250-300). The documents (yes, Jasik finally has manuals), leave something to be desired, but I understand Jasik is redoing them.
