[comp.sys.mac.system] Macsbug and System 7

tphilips@mace.cc.purdue.edu (Todd Phillips) (05/31/91)

Could somebody tell me what the current version of Macsbug is, and whether
it works with System 7?  I have ver. 6.2 and have had the machine (IIfx)
lock up when trying to exit to application after calling up macsbug with
the programmer's switch (this is under Sys7, of course).

Thanks in advance,

Todd Phillips

Version 6.2.1 is the current version.  It's available from APDA, or by
anonymous ftp from ftp.apple.com (130.43.2.3) in the
/ftp/dts/mac/tools/macsbug directory.

Version 6.2 had a couple of unfortunate bugs which could cause such
lockups.
