This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

ShellDBug
This is a simple desktop debugging tool for use
with applications written using the EvntShell
library. All it does is display trace messages
generated by the library code and the user
application.
To display trace info from the user application
use <PROCshell_Tracef0=>EvntShell.PROCshell_Tracef0>. Debugging can be turned
on and off by clicking ADJUST on the iconbar
icon providing the user application has called
PROCshell_TraceInit.
Only one application can be debugged at a time,
starting a new application that has debugging
enabled (with a call to <PROCshell_TraceInit=>EvntShell.PROCshell_TraceInit>) will
clear the message window and display messages
from the new application.Help on ShellDBug

The ShellDBug program and the EvntShell library
are ShareWare.
This means that you may copy it freely, but not
alter it, or make money on it, and if you find the
program useful you are supposed to <register>!
Note that the !Illusions disk magazine and the
associated Digital Illusions PD library are
specifically forbidden to distribute any part of
the EvntShell library code, or any program developed
using the library code.Registering
With a project as complicated as the EvntShell
library it is inevitable that there will be bugs
and things that don't work as you would like.
If you have problems I will gladly attempt to
solve them and send an update, but this does take
time and cost money. In order to provide this
service I ask for �5.00 (not worth as much as it
was anyway!) as a registration fee for the library
code. This licences you to use the code for any
number of your own projects.

#Indent 0The Next Version
Hopefully the next version will display
debugging information about the events
currently registered for each window/icon.
Also it should be possible to display
memory areas and variable values on
demand...Change History
1.03 - Adjust click on iconbar icon now turns tracing
on/off
- Select click on iconbar icon now opens main
window
- Added menu to debug window with 'Clear buffer'
and 'Save buffer' options
1.04 - Improved redraw speed
- Added ability to list some events
1.10 - Now uses MenuUtils module for menus
1.11 - Now disallows a second copy to reduce confusion
- ShellDBug may now be started after the task which
is being debugged 00000000 53 68 65 6c 6c 44 42 75 67 0a 54 68 69 73 20 69 |ShellDBug.This i| 00000010 73 20 61 20 73 69 6d 70 6c 65 20 64 65 73 6b 74 |s a simple deskt| 00000020 6f 70 20 64 65 62 75 67 67 69 6e 67 20 74 6f 6f |op debugging too| 00000030 6c 20 66 6f 72 20 75 73 65 0a 77 69 74 68 20 61 |l for use.with a| 00000040 70 70 6c 69 63 61 74 69 6f 6e 73 20 77 72 69 74 |pplications writ| 00000050 74 65 6e 20 75 73 69 6e 67 20 74 68 65 20 45 76 |ten using the Ev| 00000060 6e 74 53 68 65 6c 6c 0a 6c 69 62 72 61 72 79 2e |ntShell.library.| 00000070 20 41 6c 6c 20 69 74 20 64 6f 65 73 20 69 73 20 | All it does is | 00000080 64 69 73 70 6c 61 79 20 74 72 61 63 65 20 6d 65 |display trace me| 00000090 73 73 61 67 65 73 0a 67 65 6e 65 72 61 74 65 64 |ssages.generated| 000000a0 20 62 79 20 74 68 65 20 6c 69 62 72 61 72 79 20 | by the library | 000000b0 63 6f 64 65 20 61 6e 64 20 74 68 65 20 75 73 65 |code and the use| 000000c0 72 0a 61 70 70 6c 69 63 61 74 69 6f 6e 2e 0a 0a |r.application...| 000000d0 54 6f 20 64 69 73 70 6c 61 79 20 74 72 61 63 65 |To display trace| 000000e0 20 69 6e 66 6f 20 66 72 6f 6d 20 74 68 65 20 75 | info from the u| 000000f0 73 65 72 20 61 70 70 6c 69 63 61 74 69 6f 6e 0a |ser application.| 00000100 75 73 65 20 3c 50 52 4f 43 73 68 65 6c 6c 5f 54 |use <PROCshell_T| 00000110 72 61 63 65 66 30 3d 3e 45 76 6e 74 53 68 65 6c |racef0=>EvntShel| 00000120 6c 2e 50 52 4f 43 73 68 65 6c 6c 5f 54 72 61 63 |l.PROCshell_Trac| 00000130 65 66 30 3e 2e 20 44 65 62 75 67 67 69 6e 67 20 |ef0>.
