WACK and many other useful AMIGA software development tools will soon be available from CATS (most likely) RSN - or at least PSN (Pretty Soon Now). When it is available I'm sure it'll announced in AmigaMail and/or the net. There are a lot of preliminary, buggy, incomplete versions floating around. Also, a mini WACK called ROMWack is in the AMIGA ROM. >And now a few questions about WACK > >Is it PD or shareware or is it a commercial product and if it is >what's the price? It is (or will be) a commercial product available from Commodore (see above). The price has yet to be determined. >Is it a good 'symbolic' debugger or is there something better on the market. >(I program in C using Lattice V4.0) It is a symbolic debugger. And it has macro capability. SDB is a good source-level avalable from MANX. >> Karl < > >PS. I've used the ROMWack and it didn't give me answers to all the > questions I have.
