     I have uploaded Enforcer, MemWall, and Memoration to ab20.larc.nasa.gov
in a archive called DebugUtils.lzh. It is in incoming/amiga/UTILS. Those were
the only utilities available on BIX in the amiga.dev section.

     It would be nice if CBM would release the rest of them as well (esp. 
IO_Torture.. It does nasty things to the serial.device B-) ). Perhaps a 
Fish disk.... Or even better, since CBM now has UNIX boxes galore.. Give is a 
read only FTP site. CBM could release debug utils and WB upgrades via that
mechanism. This might even be an alternative to BIX support.

    Well... What does everybody think??
