Ghibli 0.2 added to Downloads

Italian MSX programmer Marco Rossin has sent us Ghibli 0.2 to add to our growing Freeware Download database. GHIBLI is a symbolic debugger designed to aid development of 64K-based MSX-DOS applications. Details for this new version:

Fixed bugs:

• Incorrect size/mnemonic of some instructions
• File load command returns wrong number of bytes loaded
• Wrong behavior when more than 4 arguments are supplied

Summary of new or improved features:

• Disassembly listing: 16 bit operands are solved to symbol (if exact match found)
• Disassembly listing: JRs and DJNZ have destination address ported to 16 bit and are solved to symbol (if exact match found)
• Symbols are case sensitive and can be up to 16 chars long (exceeding chars are dropped)
• Symbol files can be cumulatively loaded, every "sl" command will append symbols to the existing symbol table
• Symbol files generated both by L80 and GEN80 are supported
• step inside/over on CALL and RST
• New "do" command loads and executes a text file as a script
• function keys remapped
• Memory usage check and visualization at startup
• Size/mnemonic table comes from external file
• File load command supports a load address as 2nd parameter
• Switch to monitor mode waits for VDP to terminate command on execution
• F-register visualization as bitmap
• Register names no more case sensitive
• Input line can be up to 64 chars long
• Up to 16 (software) breakpoints
• Disk access speedup
• Hexadecimal input easier: no case sensitive, can be any length
