******************************************************************************
Enforcer V37 - For 68020/68851, 68030, 68040, & 68060 CPUs
It requires V37 of the OS or better and does not have *any*
exceptions in it for specific software. Nothing should be causing
Enforcer hits.
Requires an MMU. On 68EC030 systems, it may think it is working
even if it is not due to the fact that the missing MMU is very
hard to detect. Use LawBreaker to check.
This Enforcer has also been highly optimized to be as fast as
possible.
Enforcer can now also be used with CPU or SetCPU FASTROM or most
any other MMU-Kickstart-Mapping tool. This means that you do not
have to give up your speed in order to use Enforcer. (Major win
on A2000 and A500 systems)
Make sure you read the documentation before using these programs.
*****************
** Read the DOCs **
***************** Watch out since Enforcer does not get used
the same as the old Enforcer. Remember, this thing is a completely
different beast.
-----
Changes from 37.70
Added some hack to handle various 68060 library versions.
Updated MMU so you can control-c it.
Some documentation cleanup.
Changes from 37.62
Added 68060 support. (See documentation)
Added MMU tool. (See documentation)
New examples of how to build a debugger to track Enforcer hits
while debugging. (Enforcer.doc or Enforcer.Guide)
A large amount of new documentation - only in the Enforcer.Guide
file. This includes information on how 68040.library did the
system patches and what implementers of 68060.library need to
watch out for. A must read for any real hacker.
Source code offer - detailed in the Enforcer.Guide file.
(Yes, you can now get the source code to Enforcer!)
Changes from 37.60
Updated FindHit to work with a larger variety of debugging
information - which includes the new DICE compiler.
Added ROM module scanning to SegTracker. This is useful since
it will at least be able to tell you which ROM module was
involved with the hit (and thus you can then better track
what happened in your code.)
Updated DOC and AmigaGuide files as needed. Note that
I finally remembered to update my EMail address :-)
Changes from V37.58:
Tested against some more CPU boards and now should handle even
the strangest of them. (I don't have these boards so I need
reports from people in order to make sure Enforcer works on
them.)
Cleaned up the output of the Enforcer VERBOSE option and
added more output to that option. Also added a check for
a strange operation with certain CPU boards.
Please send all comments to Michael Sinz. Enjoy...

************
** Remember ** *NOTHING* should cause an Enforcer hit. There is
************ no reason to ever cause one if the software is written
correctly. When Enforcer is running, the VBR is moved
and even interrupt vector poking should work just fine
without Enforcer hits. Software that causes Enforcer
hits may not be able to run on future systems. In fact,
such software may not even run on current systems.
