DISA 3.05 Problems

Post by Derek_Stewart »

Hi

I have been using DISA since v2 and like the interactive disassembling that DEA does not not provide. Mind you, DEA is an excellent disassembler.

I use DISA on SMSQ/E v3.42, QPC2 v5.02, SMSQmulator v3.02, Q68 all the same, problems with DISA v3.05

I have noticed over time that DISA 3.05 crashes from time to time, I thought that is a feature of the software as hinted in the manual.

But I switched to DISA 3.04 and the disassmebler has never crashed or locked up, Which leads me to wonder if there is a bug in v3.05.

The difference between v3.04 and v3,05, is that v3.05 uses High Colour, since I do not need high colour in disassembley, I use v3.04.

Has anyone else had problems with DISA v3.05


Regards, Derek

Morning Derek.

I see exactly the same problem as you with 3.05. My Disa 2.x works fine, but 3.05 crashes at random. I see it mostly, however on saving files and changing an annotation on a line to something else - from code to dc.w or anything like that.

Very irritating indeed.

Cheers,
Norm.

My experience too, especially when editing data areas.
Gone back to 3.04, no freezes anymore.

(btw: still working on Multimon, I hope to implement the editing features of DISA in Multimon someday. The latest version is on https://github.com/SinclairQL/QL-MultiMon).

Hi Jan

Multimon, was the first monitor programme I used, and is the easier one to use. I still use it today.

I am pleased you are still developing Multimon.
