I have an Amiga 2000HD with AmigaDos 2.1 and I have not been able to find a utility that will let me do 2 things I think any multi-tasking system should let the operator do. First, I would like to be able to view the execution of scripts (even in another process) line-by-line to monitor their effect. Second, I would like to be able to monitor the actions of processes spawned independently (and that do not necessarily open their own window, e.g. batch processes) to see what they are doing. I would NOT like to "junk" the current operating system or double its size to do these things. The closest think I have found so far it the Amiga Real-Time Monitor, but I want to see something more operator-friendly (i.e. not something resembling hex dumps, but something resembling English) Does anyone know of anything that fits the bill? (I admit that I have not yet become an expert on AmigaDos 2.1, but I have skimmed the manuals and I do not see anything like this included. And NO, I don't want to be an expert Arexx programmer before I can get results and I do NOT have a C compiler NOR do I want one!) (How's that for demanding?) ;^) –Charles Reed
