I have been trying to kludge together a couple of programs (MachIII for its
macros, AmigaMonitor for it's assembly debugging and tracing abilities) and
thought I had hit upon a good scheme for loading symbols into AmigaMonitor
using MachIII. Unfortunately, MachIII seems to play back an entire macro
sequence into the input.device before it allows AmigaMonitor to have access
to the buffer. Since there is about 6Kbytes of symbols for my program and
the input.device holds only about 256 bytes, most of the symbol data I want
gets ignored. Is there any way to use a dos command or configuration to
change the size of the input buffer?
I'm just guessing that this is the problem. All I know is that the macro file
I have set up seems to be ok, but only the first 256 bytes or so of the file
gets played back when I activate the macro. I have each symbol defined as
a seperate macro and chain them all together so one macro activates the next.
I can play back any series of macros if I start in the middle, beggining, or
end of the chained series, but I can't get it to recall more than about 256
bytes at any one time. Since I have about 270 symbols for my program and each
symbol takes about 25 bytes or so to define, I'm kind of stuck for playing them
back by discretely calling each one. It would take forever to call each one
a macro at a time. Chaining them together seems to be a good idea, but it
just doesn't work. Any ideas?
