Software information: DebugButtn

Overview

This module adds an extra “Debug” button onto error boxes for serious errors. Clicking this button will drop you into a command line where you can do useful stuff like *Where and *Memory whilst the task which crashed is still paged into memory.

“Bonus binaries”

This is one of a group of applications and modules distributed as Bonus Binaries – software considered unsuitable for inclusion in the standard HardDisc4 image. They are primarily of interest to developers, and are made available on the “half a loaf” principle: the pressing need for software that performs these tasks outweighs the inconvenience of the unfinished and/or anachronistic behaviour of the software itself.

Installation Instructions

Double-click on the module to load it.

Use

If an exception or program error occurs, then a Debug button will appear in the error box (you may need to press Describe first).

You will be dropped into a Debug* prompt. To return to the error box, press Escape.
