This code is FreeWare !
Spread it as much as you can, Without Modification,
and With this file too, BUT don't have profit with it ...
What is MonTel ? :
------------------
MonTel is an Intuition Memory Dumper, allowing you to see
as quickly as possible 16 to 128 bytes, with cyclic refresh.
You can choose output on 4 devices :
- MNTL 80 : French Minitel 80 columns mode (via SER:)
- MNTL 40 : French Minitel 40 columns mode (via SER:)
- CONS : Console Window opened by MonTel
- CLI : The CLI you used to run MonTel
Requirements :
------------------
You need KS 1.3 or 2.x (not tested on 1.2, 3.x )
You NEED Reqtools.Library V 38+
Special greatings to NICO FRANCOIS for this so NICE LIB !
For MNTL 80 and 40, you have to set SER: 1200 7E1 NONE
You MUST RUN MonTel : Open a CLI and type :
.....>RUN MonTel
Otherwise your CLI will die when you'll exit MonTel, and
a simple CR in this CLI will crash your system !!! Sorry !
Using MonTel :
------------------
Startup: MonTel attempts to open SER: and sets MNTL 80 mode
if succeed.
Else MonTel is in CLI mode.
There's 5 main gadgets :
|-----------------------------------------------------|
| MNTL 80 | Hex+Ascii | Address | Size | Dump |
|-----------------------------------------------------|
Mode Format Start Ad #ofBytes Start/Stop
Mode : If SER: is free, choose between :
MiNiTeL 80 char (automatic switching)
MiNiTeL 40 char (automatic switching)
CONSole 80 char
CLI 80 char
ELSE
CONSole 80 char
CLI 80 char
Format : For 80 char devices, choose between :
Hex + Ascii
Hex only
Ascii only
ELSE
Hex only
Ascii only
Start Ad : defines start address of dump
always even
Follow requester information to
type in Hex or Dec Address ...
Default Address to a local variable of MonTel.
#ofBytes : Choose between :
16 Bytes
32
48
64
80
96
112
128 Bytes
Start/Stop : Turns Dumping ON or OFF
When dumping : MonTel uses all available CPU time
without disturbing Real-Time...
Gadgets < and > can be used to
modify the StartAddress without
stopping the dump :
Gadget > Start_ad := Start_ad + Size
Gadget < Start_ad := Start_ad - Size
Future Release :
------------------
I'll try to solve the launching problem with the CLI...
Also :
- add the ability to dump in a file
- add a port, so we'll start Dumping from other programs,
for Real-Time debug...
- maybe add the ability to resize and accept other fonts
than Topaz, but I WANT to keep KS 1.3 compatibility ...
- ideas are welcome : see the BBS number a the top of file.
Conclusion :
------------------
I want to give a lot of THANKS to Wouter Van Oortmerssen !
I don't know many things about Amiga, having a little A500
since only 1 year and a half, and only for playing at the
beginning... Coding in C with 1Mo and one internal drive
only, is (quite) impossible ! After many bad nights *8(
I found his Amiga_E compiler, and now, I do think that :
Only Amiga and E can do it !
