[ I'm posting this for Steve ... /kim ] First of all, are you sure that the library number you're passing is 32 bits (in other words, are the high order bits of D0 0?) Also, is it one of (0, 31, 32, 33)? As for the debugger, if you're using Manx, look at DB. By the 3.4 release this will be a very nice package. Also, Fred Fish wrote a dbug package that can be found on Disk #2, but I think this only for C. [an updated version is on #41] If you have a terminal or another computer to hook up to the serial port, you can imbed your program with kprintf's and see your program's progress on the terminal. I have a bunch of assembly macros to send stuff out to the parallel port. Mail to me if you want them. If you program a lot, I'd recommend Metascope. This has been worth every penny for me, even though it's a pain to use with multitasking programs.
