- Short: Debug.lib translated for Amiga E

- debug.m is the E module equivalent to the C linked library debug.lib.
- If you already know this linked library, you can skip this introduction
- and directly go to the TECHNICAL section.
- For those who don't know this link library, let me give you a little
- explanation of its interest. Indeed, it contains simple input/output
- functions for the serial port. Thanks to them, you can use a remote debug-
- ging terminal linked to your Amiga via the serial port. But nobody have
- a debugging terminal linked to his Amiga :-) So a solution is to used
- Sushi which is developper tool (but also available on aminet) to intercept
- raw serial debugging output and to redirect it to a simple CON window.
- So every Amiga can take benefit from these function. But what is the
- interest for a sample Amiga E user in relation to the WriteF() procedure ?
- I see two advantages :
- - debugging output isn't mixed with normal output
- - you can't use functions like WriteF(), PrintF(), etc (in fact, all
- the dos.library function) outside a process context, in other words, you
- MUST use debug.m functions instead for exec tasks, devices, handlers, etc
