[Coco] Assembly help

[Dave Philipsen]

As I recall even the old EDTASM allowed you to set breakpoints and examine the CPU registers. Nowadays if I have to find a problem I just write some debug code into the program.

I WISH there was a way to do a step by step trace in assembly the way one can do in Microsoft's .NET languages to see exactly what's going on with each instruction and the variable values, etc.   I'm doing the assembly in Rainbow IDE using Roger Taylor's CCASM as the compiler and AFAIK there is no such tracing capabilities.
