        Subject: [BLACKBOX] Pause or single-step a program
        
        
                Dear List,
        I need to debug a program. I want to be able to pause normal
execution so I can examine the values of certain variables, then resume
execution. I can see an obvious way to do it, by calling a procedure that
will execute a loop until the value of a global Boolean variable changes.
But since this requirement must have come up before, I hoped somebody could
suggest a more elegant method. Thanks for any suggestions.
        Steve Troy

------------

If the algorithm that you are trying to debug is generic Component Pascal
(i.e. not containing any Blackbox-specific dependencies) then you could try
compiling it using GPCP for .NET and debug it using the standard .NET GUI
interactive runtime debugger 'GuiDebug'.

Regards,
Chris
