- Usage: SRT file|RESET|?
-
- This program installs a wedge into AutoRequest for the purpose
- of replacing the text of standard system requesters.
-
- SPECIAL BONUS
- If your replacement text for "Software error - task held" is "DEBUG",
- SRT will replace those useless Software Error requesters with a full
- width display of the PC, SP, registers, task address, and name of the
- task/command/process that crashed. And the left gadget will now allow
- you to get rid of the requester and just have that task wait forever.
-
- Note that you can even install SRT AFTER you have crashed - this
- is very handy if you crash unexpectedly. As long as you can pop
- or click up a newshell or cli, you can install SRT with the debug text,
- select "Retry" on your normal Software Error requester, and have it
- replaced by the SRT debug requester.
-
-
- You provide the replacement text in an ascii file of the following
- form:
-
- N=linecount
- "old text" "new text"
- "old text" "new text"
- etc.
-
- I have provided a sample file called srt.text
-
- This would be installed as follows:
-
- SRT srt.text
-
-
- I have also provided several small programs (each called crashN where
- N = the number of the exception the program causes).
-
- After installing SRT srt.text, you can test the new DEBUG requester
- by running any of those programs >NIL:.
-
- for example, run crash8 >NIL:

-
-
- If not in use, SRT can be uninstalled with the command: SRT RESET
