CMON.COM
(TSR, may be loaded high)
This program sets up a monitor of all commands fed to
COMMAND.COM. It will show each command and wait for a keystroke
to continue. This is a little strange but it does something not
easily done any other way.
The main use of this program is to single-step through batch
files. It may also reveal covert or unobvious behavior of
certain other programs.
This program requires DOS 3.3 or above. It will not function
correctly with NDOS or 4DOS Ver 3.x. It works correctly with
4DOS Ver 4.x.
CMON, once installed, may be easily switched off and back on.
Simply enter the command "-" at the DOS prompt (without the quote
marks) to turn it off. To turn it back on type "CMON" again. This
program will only install itself one time. It has no un-install
option, but you could load Hot2, then CMON, and then dump them
both when finished, with HOT2's Ctrl-Alt-Insert option.
Once you have CMON loaded, and you want to single-step
through only *part* of a long batch file or tangled nest of
batch files, then you can bracket the part you want to
single-step by adding the command "CMON" before the part,
and "-" after the part. CMON will turn on, and then turn
off again when you run.
CMON may not work on some hardware or DOS versions; in
particular, as noted above, it needs DOS 3.3 or greater.
