- Here you are getting more and more demo-coders to disagree with you.
- AsmOne is lacking an OK debugger.

- This statement obviously comes from an old user of SEKA. That debugger is
- almost unsuable, as it don't let you skip instructions, nor change memory
- while running. The ONLY thing you can do is step through your code
- ONCE... While seeing what is in the registers and how it branch...

- But lacking, lacking. No multi-windows, wrap back on short lines, etc...
- I feel that the ultimate developement is DevPac running with CED as
- editor. I am running this through a self-written interface, meaning I get
- devpac asm to memory from inside CED.
