- Have you ever used CodeProbe (SAS/C debugger)? It does a lot of the things
- you mentioned (except the guarantee). Yesterday again I stepped through my
- assembler code with cpr, watching the register values I had done. 'Quit'
- cleaned everything up nicely, one instruction before the point-of-crash.
- So what? ;-)
-
- The only thing is, it isn't an "integrated C environment." It integrates
- under the Amiga system, that's enough.
