You will be able to use MacsBug if you are running in 2-color mode. This is a known bug. I am told it is because macsbug doesn't use quckdraw to do its screen drawing, so it doesn't always work on all monitors. In fact Macsbug is actually running on my computer when it is in that gray mode, I just can't see anything. It does respond to the es commands and rb commands! -- Kirk Crawford crawford@aerospace.aero.org My Opinions are Mine!
