You need a debugger, you say?In all the games and programs that I created for the Coco, not once did I ever used a debugger. Or maybe I should say, no outside debugging program.My games had their own OS complete with drivers, signaling and game status systems. The status system was very handy for "debugging" a problem in the game. But in most cases of the code "just stop working", I would return to the source code I just worked on and look for the problem there.I my opinion, debuggers are overrated and you should learn to code without a crutch.Steve (Mega-Bug) BjorkP.S. the above pun was intendedOn 7/7/2011 3:44 AM, T.
