Short:        Barfly (68k+PPC) ASM Development System

This is the same distribution as the one that Ralph uploaded on 1998-04-28
except that I fixed a couple of small bugs in the debugger BDebug with
friendly permission of Ralph Schmidt:

    o The hunk parser is now more permissive and will read a HUNK_DEBUG even
      when there is no (incorrect) entry for it in the HUNK_HEADER, which
      fixes reading of debug hunks for objects compiled with gcc.

    o When the hunk parser searches for source files, it will also look for
      them in the directory where the object file resides (besides all other
      paths) and in case of gcc stabs debug hunks won't get stuck when the
      source file doesn't exist.

    o The BDebug source code Ralph gave me is slightly more recent than the
      binary from the original archive. It displays SegTracker information
      in the register window if you have that tool running. However, the
      PC/disassembly line in that window was corrupted when you didn't have
      SegTracker running. I fixed that.


If you find bugs in BDebug (exclusively, I don't have the files nor the
permission to work on BAsm), you should probably get in contact with me
instead of Ralph, as I have the means and might be willing to fix them.

DESCRIPTION

    Barfly is a very powerful Assembler Development system with
    an Intuition controlled Sourcelevel Debugger that also supports
    SAS and GCC.

    Assembler:

    o Pre-Compiled Includes
    o Cached Includes & Incbins
    o Advanced Macro Support Functions
    o High-Level Macros

    Debugger:

    BDebug is an OS-Debugger that is based mainly on the Amiga Task
    concept and not on the Supervisor Mode. The Debugger can open
    unlimited debug sessions and the user is able to control these
    session simultaneous.
    The window amount is unlimited and fortunately BDebug is very
    configurable.
    The *SAS D1 Debug Hunk*, *GCC Stabs Debug Hunk*, a privat BASM
    Debug Hunk format, and the usual Symbol Hunk is supported.
