Oliver, I've got a Multiscope with my Zortech C++ 3.1 and would like confirmation on some topics. Let me tell you first that I got that Version in April, I think, and I had to wait until the german dealer was able to deliver one. Therefore I guess it was an quite early version of the ZTC. The Multiscope that came with that compiler has the following problems: 1. Although there is a Class Window, it does not work at all. Nothing is ever shown in there. Also you cannot set the window color. Did you try to remove that feature for the version delivered with the ZTC? And if so, have you only partially succeeded? Are Zortech users really supposed to sort through the various 'this' pointers in the local data window? 2. When tracing through a program, inline code is simply skipped. Is there no way to see that code? 3. When tracing a subroutine 'step over' sometimes will jump out of the routine back to the calling program. This seems to happen preferably when stepping over a conditional ('x? y : z') in the code. It does not always happen with conditionals, but if it happens the effect is reproducable. I suppose this is a bug. Is something know about this? Which of those problems would be fixed, if I bought a true Multiscope license? BTW: Does the full Multiscope support the Watcom C/C++ debug format (we use that one with the 4GW DOS-Extender and are quite disappointed with their debugger)? Juergen Makowka A+W Software
