Can anyone tell me if there's a good way to trap the kinds of errors that usually result in bombs? I'm contemplating porting a debugger to the ST, but a fundamental piece of functionality is the ability to use my own trap vectors, or at least the get TOS to give control back to me with a pointer to the crash data. I would expect there to be some sort of OS call for this, but haven't seen it. Related question: Does MUSHROOM.PRG work? Whenever I run it it appears to just dump a piece of the system stack, with no indication of the user PC or failing instruction etc. It then crashes itself with an alignment error. Is there a better substitute for MUSHROOM, or documentation on where to find the crash data and how to interpret it? Thanks.
