I always reply to email. If you do not receive a reply, it is not because I failed to write, but rather because the net gods have decided to thwart me. :-( >Many moons ago you posted an article about a debugging tool you wrote called >Guardian Angel. It was an enforcer like utility but had the advantage that >it also caught programms accessing free memory. That is correct. This utility is particularly useful for projects in progress, as it can quickly catch a wild pointer that keeps crashing the machine. The enforcer is useful for a program that is nearing completion, as it can let you find bugs that may cause sporadic crashes. >Is this tool available and if so where?? I wrote this program almost a year ago, on company time. Therefore only Commodore has the right to distribute it. Contact CATS to find out how to obtain it. I too would like to find out as it might cut down on my debugging time drastically. As things stand now, it would take me perhaps a week to rewrite that utility. The original took a full month to write. But even if I were to rewrite it, I fear the copyright laws would not allow me to ditribute the newly written version.
