- Devpac Amiga 2 Release 2.08
- ============== ============
-
- Although individual program version numbers may vary, the
- version number that should be written on your registration
- card should be 2.08. When requiring technical support or
- reporting bugs, please be sure to also quote the version
- number of the individual program in question.
-
- We have added many new features to Devpac Amiga since the
- manual was produced, detailed below:
-
- Editor
- ======
- When a System Requestor appears (e.g. File not found),
- pressing any key is equivalent to clicking on Cancel.
- The ARP File Requestor displays the first few files as
- it finds them. To see the full file list, click on the
- slider to the right of the filenames.
- The editor preferences file (page 29) will firstly be
- searched for in the current directory, then the C: directory.
- This allows you to have a global preference file as well
- as specific local ones in your source directories. This is
- also true of MonAms preference file (page 107).
-
- Assembler
- =========
- For increased compatibility, the directives CODE, DATA and
- BSS are now supported. These are the same as specifying the
- same name and type in a SECTION directive.
- The stand-alone assembler GenIm2 gives a return code to
- indicate how successful it was. Values are:
- 100+ initialisation failure
- 20 fatal error
- 10 error(s)
- 5 warning(s)
- 0 OK
- The stand-alone assembler can be passed a directory to
- search for include files by using -iXXX on the command
- line. Do *not* follow the i with any spaces.
- When using the integrated assembler, its display may be
- paused by holding down the right mouse button. Pressing
- any key (page 27) will *not* pause the integrated assebler.
-
- Debugger
- ========
- There is a new command, V, that flips screens. Pressing
- another key (so long as MonAm remains the current window)
- will return the MonAm screen. It saves having to use the
- screen gadgets and is normally more useful than the system
- keyboard shortcuts.
- The Help command (page 99) now displays the task status,
- segment list, memory list and free memory. For UK A500 1.2
- users who cannot use their Help key it can also be obtained
- by pressing Right-Amiga H.
-
- Manual Corrections
- ==================
- Page 12, 9th line from bottom, should read 'first press Ctrl-Q
- to ensure that the program will be killed and press Y to
- terminate the program and the debugger. We can' etc.
- Page 35, command line should start with 'GenIm2 '..etc
- Page 36, third example should start 'genim2 '..etc
- Page 99, 2nd para, delete the sentence 'though ROM breakpoints
- may be emulated using the Run Until command'.
- Page 105, find Next, the search area is now as follows:
- 0-7FFFF; Chip mem
- F80000-FFFFFF; ROM
- xx-xx; any additional RAM
- Page 106, Top of RAM, this is no longer required as MonAm2
- now walks the system memory list.
-
- In order to make space on Disk 1, the following files and
- directories have been deleted:
- Utilities all
- Fonts all except Topaz
- System some
- You can find these files on your original Workbench disk that
- came with your machine.
-
- When using GenAm2 and MonAm2 on PAL machines with external RAM,
- you may sometimes get *two* mouse pointers; one will be the
- normal Intuition pointer, the other will be the custom pointer
- associated with the program you are using. Do not be alarmed -
- this seems to be a harmless bug in Intuition.
-
- Current Restrictions
- ====================
- MonAm does not work correctly on 68010/020/030 processors.
- Please return your registration card promptly to qualify
- for your free upgrade.
