Version 3.7 of the Dissect addon is released, for j6.02 and J8.03+.
Dissect aims to be the easiest-to-use and most complete tool for
learning J and debugging J sentences, and I think this version is a big
step in that direction. Check it out if you haven't yet.
This release has:
* Tutorial labs to help you learn dissect (thanks to David Steele for
writing these). If you're not a J guru, you might learn some J too.
* Built-in help, with tooltips for all the display components, so you
can hover over blocks and see what they mean.
* Integration into the J8 debugger so that you can press a button to
dissect the sentence the debugger has stopped on. There's also an
Autodissect Mode so that as you step through a verb, every sentence is
dissected automatically before it is executed.
IMPORTANT: When you get the new debug/dissect from Package Manager, make
sure you also get the latest versions of labs/labs, ide/qt, and the Base
Library.
The Labs will run on J6.02, they're just not released for that platform,
so if you're still on 6.02 you can download them on J8.03 and copy to
your Labs directory.
