TRACE and Minerva
Posted: Sat Jan 28, 2012 1:04 pm
I am using Q-emuLator and am looking for a TRACE utility to work with Minerva. I have got SuperTrace, written in 1987 by David Henderson, but cannot get this to work at all with Minerva. This will work with the JS ROM, except that the commands of ctrl_t and ctrl_u don't work. Those commands turn TRACE on and off, but that is only a minor problem. This utility works brilliantly: it displays the line numbers and full SuperBASIC code. The speed at which it works can also be adjusted, including single stepping. This is just what I need, except that the programs I write with Minerva don't always work with the JS ROM.
On the Minerva documentation there is talk of a TRACE_bin file, but I have not been able to find this anywhere on the Internet. The authors of the Q_Liberator compiler were also talking of adding a trace utility, but apparently did not get around to doing anything about it. So, there it is. I am searching for a trace utility to work with Minerva. Can anyone help, please?
