- CMON.COM
-
- (TSR, may be loaded high)
-
- This program sets up a monitor of all commands fed to
- COMMAND.COM. It will show each command and wait for a keystroke
- to continue. This is a little strange but it does something not
- easily done any other way.
-
- The main use of this program is to single-step through batch
- files. It may also reveal covert or unobvious behavior of
- certain other programs.
-
- This program requires DOS 3.3 or above. It will not function
- correctly with NDOS or 4DOS Ver 3.x. It works correctly with
- 4DOS Ver 4.x.
-
- CMON, once installed, may be easily switched off and back on.
- Simply enter the command "-" at the DOS prompt (without the quote
- marks) to turn it off. To turn it back on type "CMON" again. This
- program will only install itself one time. It has no un-install
- option, but you could load Hot2, then CMON, and then dump them
- both when finished, with HOT2's Ctrl-Alt-Insert option.
-
- Once you have CMON loaded, and you want to single-step
- through only *part* of a long batch file or tangled nest of
- batch files, then you can bracket the part you want to
- single-step by adding the command "CMON" before the part,
- and "-" after the part. CMON will turn on, and then turn
- off again when you run.
-
- CMON may not work on some hardware or DOS versions; in
- particular, as noted above, it needs DOS 3.3 or greater.
