New Amiga Enforcer V37.70 Supports 060, Source Code Available

Enforcer V37, by Michael Sinz, published by Intangible Assets Manufacturing, is an advanced debugging tool for Amiga computer systems equipped with a 68020/68851, 68030, 68040, or 68060 CPU. It uses the MMU to help detect stray pointers and access to invalid memory. The Enforcer archive includes tools to help identify the exact location of bugs, including the line of source code in most C or Assembly code, as well as some other languages. Also includes a large on-line manual and some examples as to how errors can be caught.

The original Enforcer was written by Bryce Nesbitt, copyright Commodore-Amiga. It was instrumental in the development of AmigaOS 2.04 and to the improvement of the quality of software on the Amiga. Enforcer V37 is a completely new set of code designed to provide even more debugging capabilities across more hardware configurations and with more options.

Changes from the V37.62 release of Enforcer include:

• Added 68060 CPU support the first public release that provides support for the 68060. See documentation for details.
• New MMU dump tool
• A large amount of new documentation including how and why certain things were built the way they were. A "must read" for Amiga system hackers and CPU hardware vendors. Includes some source code for some of the patches that were needed to make the 68040.library support as much Amiga software as possible. (And, thus, 68060.library - hopefully)
• A special offer: Source code to all the Enforcer tools! Enforcer has always been available for use by Amiga developers for free. The wide spread use of Enforcer has been one of the reasons Amiga software is as good as it is. With this release of Enforcer, the author makes a special offer to people who wish to get the source code. This offer is detailed at http://www.iam.com/amiga/enforcer.html and in the Enforcer documentation.

Even if you don't need the source code to Enforcer, if you use Enforcer, please consider purchasing the source code to support the author and continued work on Enforcer. Enforcer has been developed over many years, worked on by two of the most famous and capable of the former Commodore-Amiga Software Engineers. If you're an Amiga developer, Enforcer is worth a lot to you and the quality of your software, so please support us.
