This is in general known as a (hardware) monitor. GR features most "standard" functions, but also many things not normally found in this type of software. AUTHOR Name: Jesper Skov Address: (Check ghostrider.guide for snail address) EMail: jskov@iesd.auc.dk DESCRIPTION GhostRider (GR) is a new hardware monitor written in pure assembler. The most important difference between GR and other monitors of this kind is that GR is build up from scratch - not a (simple) modification of some old CON-based monitor. Before starting this project I tried to figure out what single feature of a monitor is more important. Since a monitor is to be used by many different people, I decided that the most important feature would be the ability of configuration according to the user's needs. Therefore GR comes with a preference editor which will allow you, the user, to configure the "feel" of GR... See below for a list of some of the features in GhostRider: - Works on all (well, most :) Amigas; AGA, ECS, NTSC, PAL, MC68000-MC68040/MMU/FPU. - Does _NOT_ rely on the system to be around. - Fast screen handling. - Powerfull input parser, support use of symbols. - Copper-list locater. - System, NMI, reset (also GURU) & BreakPoint entry modes. - Text snapping/pasting with the mouse. - Full dis/assembler support for the M68k family (well, not the 'o6o). - "Standard" block dump as well as editor environments for disassembling, HEX-viewing, ASCII-viewing and Memory-Peeking (bitmap). - Memory hunt featuring; long strings, jokers (wildcards), NOT-data, case(in)-sensitive text hunt, branch hunt and PC-relative hunt. - Memory fill featuring; long strings and jokers. - Breakpoint support. - Full control of CustomRegister contents at exit. - Results from hunt/compare operations are kept in a buffer for fast and easy access. - Capable of resuming (some) interrupted commands. - Disk system with UN*X like parsing of path. - Includes system interface (ghostrider.library) which allow usage in your own programs (for easy debugging). - Full documentation in AmigaGuide format. NEW FEATURES GhostRider V1.0 contains following updates from version V0.32E: - GhostRider is now shareware - this release is fully functional. - Full configuration of screen mode (PAL/NTSC/MULTISYNC). - The disk routines using DOS (save/load/del/dir/cd) now use a UN*X like path parser. - GhostRider now run on _all_ tested Amigas (also the A4000/o4o). - Track display. - Disassembly speed improved. - It is now possible to change CPU register contents (d0-a7). - It is now possible to edit the code in the disassemble editor. - The (memory) size of GR has been reduced. - Many bug fixes and extra prefs. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS GhostRider should run on all systems, but the DeckRunner and Preference Editor require Kickstart 2.04+ (V37+).
