Hello!  I'm fairly used to dbx, and somewhat used to sdb, but I can't
even start my program under CPR without crashing (guruing) my Amiga.
Maybe I'm spoiled by a big programming environment like UNIX, but maybe
someone can grant me a few tips that will get me off to a running
start.  Are there some tried and true steps to getting a program past
the crucial steps, then keeping the debugging rolling quickly?  E.g.,
getting the program started, passing parameters properly to functions
(right lengths), debugging without resorting to a lot of printf's or
DPRINT's, etc.


Thanks!


P.S:  Lazy question:

Does the Lattice compiler have a "supercompatibility" mode like the
Manx compiler?
