I could not find this topic so I open a new one.
I just bought MWC second hand (v3.01 if I remember well) and it seems
to be working quite fine except for the DB symbolic low level debugger.
I have TOS 1.4 and DB does not know about this TOS version. It refuses
to operate under this TOS version. Should I patch DB so that it knows
about tos 1.4? Is TOS 1.4 near enought from older TOS so that DB will
still work corectly??
An alternate solution would be for me to use devpac2 but it seems that
the symbols are not following the same definition under MWC and
devapc2. Is there some public domain soft to translate MWC symbol to
devpac2 symbols?
Any help would be really appreciated.

I'm not sure if it's legal to use a second hand version of MWC even
if you bought it and have a receipt!
Read the back of the manual carefully!

Louis,
Re: .0
That problem sounded familiar. I searched my collection of Atari "on line"
messages, and found something dating back to about January 1990. I think
it came from a USENET posting. Anyway, here is the information.
----------------------------------------------------------
Mark Williams product DB also has a problem according to Howard Johnson:
MWC db plays with tos data that was 'private' in tos 1.0.
Afterward, tos 1.1 and on have a formal table of pointers to this info.
Some one at MWC got carried away and coded it roughly as:
if(tos1.0) {
there is no table , rough it;
}
else if(tos 1.1)
goto ok;
else if(tos 1.2)
goto ok;
else
goto h..l;
Use a binary editer to look for the date string of the releases and patch
the latest one to what tos1.4 uses [hint: change offset 0x1a0d from 22 to
6; change offset 0x1a0e from 87 to 89]. Then db will work. Sort of.
It corrupts the system clock, and the console and memory are screwed
until you reboot.
Isn't nice when the OFFICIAL developer software is not compatible with 1.4,
AND MWC claims that it is.
