- Introduction
- ============
-
- Many debugging utilities send their output to serial port using simple
- communication mechanism embedded in the exec.library -- the RawPutChar function.
- This simple utility patches that function, opens a window on WB screen and
- redirects all to this window.
-
- Warning: DeCon uses line buffering which causes incomplete lines not to be
- displayed before a newline character is received. For example: if you want to
- clear the window, you must send the FF+LF charcter pair instead of simple FF.
-
- If you're debugging a resident module, you have to use DeConRes which acts
- as a resident module opening the window and doing the same action. It has
- priority equal to 4, therefore it gets initialized directly after the console
- device. Use the AddModule utility (also included in this archive) to install it.
-
- DeCon is pure and can be made resident.
