- Short: Mount a task as a device for debugging

- You're either one of two people. The person writing that simple device handler or the
- person writing a full blown file system. Which ever you are, you're going to face a
- problem possibly worse than the actual coding of the handler itself, testing it in a real
- world situation. Forgetting that for a moment, testing the code at all. As you know,
- similar to a library or a device their is not an easy no standard way of testing a device
- handler in a debugger and single stepping through it. That is, until now. I recently faced
- this same problem, and so started searching for programs that would help. I found none.
- So then I started searching for solutions to the problem, experimented with my ideas and
- came up with this program. Which really works! I have written a program that will allow
- you to load your code into your usual debbuger and handle the other task, dos packets.
- You can happily debug away on your handler and communicate with it normally as you
- would with dos as TestHandler will automatically take care of this set up for you. Now out
- can get a grip, get on with the job, and not worry about putting fiddly in-line messages in
- your handler and coding blind.
