[comp.sys.mac.system] crash tracing/debugging

rjt@cbnewsl.att.com (ross.j.thompson) (07/28/90)

Hello Mac Users,

I have been having a problem with crashes with a new piece of software
and I wonder about the utility of debugging programs such as TMON to 
help in identifying and isolating the problem.  The reason I am attempting
this and not the software company is that only I seem to have the problem.

Before I mention the name of the software and cause the developer any 
grief to which he may not deserve, I thought I would see if the problem
could be my fault.

Would anyone care to comment on the use of debug tools like TMON to help
me identify what is causing the crash, where the event which causes the
crash is coming from, and what to do about it.

Thanks for you comments.
