Still, you're doing some pretty essential work, so let me just say thanks
for your (annoying ?) work !
Annoying? Sometimes. Boring? Never. I'm enjoying every minute of it, as long as I don't get to frustrate myself with idiotic mistakes. (Of which I've had a couple in the last week, the last one just took the prize :))
To my credit I will say that this was assembly (68000), and that the problem manifested itself in such an unrelated area of the program, that I overruled my own judgment and searched the problem in the vicinity of where it happened. As life would have it, the real problem was a missing "#" (which means "use immediate value X", so instead it read "Take value from address X").
O, well,
maybe I just need some extra sleep.
Thanks a lot, encouragement is always appreciated.
