Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2005 23:25:00 -0000 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed X-OriginalArrivalTime: 24 Mar 2005 23:24:54.0595 (UTC) FILETIME=[AF807130:01C530C8] X-SW-Source: 2005-03/txt/msg00225.txt.bz2 sorry i should have been more specific. a long long time ago (late 80s) borland turbo c had a trace mode. it would start a program and then just step line by line through the code automatically. you could control the speed and you had the ability to see the registers and local variables that where affected. again the nice feature was that once this trace feature was started it needed little user interaction. i am looking for some feature similar to that. thanks jim
