Announcement of GhostRider V1.9

PRODUCT NAME

    GhostRider V1.9


BRIEF DESCRIPTION

    GhostRider (GR) is tool for viewing/changing memory contents in
    different formats (hex/ascii/disassembly). Also it is possible to do
    program debugging independant of the system resources, i.e. in
    demos/games.  This type of tool is called a monitor (remnant from the
    C64). GR features most "standard" functions, but also many things not
    normally found in this type of software.

DESCRIPTION

    GhostRider is a new monitor written in pure assembler. The most
    important difference between GR and other monitors of this kind is that
    GR is build up from scratch - not a (simple) modification of some old
    CON-based monitor. Before starting this project I tried to figure out
    what single feature of a monitor is more important. Since a monitor is
    to be used by many different people, I decided that the most important
    feature would be the ability of configuration according to the user's
    needs. Therefore GR comes with a preference editor which will allow
    you, the user, to configure the "feel" of GR... See below for a list of
    some of the features in GhostRider:

    - Works on all (well, most :) Amigas; AGA, ECS, NTSC, PAL,
      MC68ooo-MC68o4o/MMU/FPU.
    - Does _NOT_ rely on the system to be around.
    - Fast screen handling. You may define custom screen types. By default
      the following modes are supported: PAL/NTSC lace/non-lace and
      productivity.
    - Powerfull input parser, support use of symbols.
    - Copper-list locater.
    - System, NMI, generic, reset (also GURU) & BreakPoint entry modes.
    - Text snapping/pasting with the mouse.
    - Full dis/assembler support for the M68k family (well, not the 'o6o).
    - "Standard" block dump as well as editor environments for
      disassembling, HEX-viewing, ASCII-viewing and Memory-Peeking
      (bitmap). You may of course also change the memory contents in all
      formats but bitmap.
    - Memory hunt featuring; long strings, jokers (wildcards), NOT-data,
      case(in)-sensitive text hunt, branch hunt and PC-relative hunt.
    - Memory fill featuring; long strings and jokers.
    - Breakpoint support.
    - Full control of CustomRegister contents at exit.
    - Results from hunt/compare operations are kept in a buffer for fast and
      easy access.
    - Capable of resuming (some) interrupted commands.
    - Disk system with UN*X like parsing of path.
    - Includes system interface (ghostrider.library) which allow usage in
      your own programs (for easy debugging).
    - Online help screens for quick reference to available key shortcuts
      and command syntax.
    - Full documentation in AmigaGuide format.


NEW FEATURES

    GhostRider V1.9 contains following updates from version V1.0:

    - Added disk verify.
    - Better control of custom registers at exit; Now a copper-like program
      (supplied by you) may be executed at exit.
    - New generic entry mode.
    - Preference editor is now capable of changing the GR executable.
    - A few bug fixes.


SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

    GhostRider should run on all systems, but the DeckRunner and Preference
    Editor require Kickstart 2.04+ (V37+). No additional hardware is
    required to run GhostRider.
