kl10 tops10 eddt sometimes doesn't seem to accept keyboard input about sims HOT 8 CLOSED

Yes this is the correct place to request this. I myself don't use EDDT so not sure how to test it. I tried to use it but whenever I attempted to set a break point it would not find the symbol. If you can give me a trace of some commands to show the issue?

My problem is that I don't use EDDT so am not familiar with how to get it to fail or how it should work. I replaced the line: kl10_fe.c#1796 with:
if ((optr->STATUS & (DTE_SEC|DTE_MON)) != (0) &&
if this works let me now.

I am using Tops 10 7.04 build with my build scripts.

from sims.

What I need is steps showing how it should behave that I can run on my simulator to test. If you want to include where it is going wrong with my simulator that is a help. To fix an error I need to be able to reproduce it.

Pushed out some fixes... Let me know if they work.

from sims.

that was quick! i'm ashamed to admit i'm not sure what info you need from me. english is my first language, but i'm sadly slow at communications :(

your change is basically what i did, so it looks fine to me, and it seems to work in your example.

in the failing case, without the code change, do the /e & debug$G thing. wait until tops10 prints the dot. then type ^D. you will get to the zero breakpoint. then type anything -- it does not echo because the STATUS bits don't match. tops10 looks dead because you can't get it to do anything - eddt is running and there is no way from the keyboard to get it to proceed.

you don't have to really wait until the dot, i just do from habit.

in the succeeding case, with the code change, do the /e & debug$G thing. wait until tops10 prints the dot. then type ^D. you will get the zero breakpoint. now you type something like "P/" and this will show the tops10 stack pointer. or any of the things you already typed in your example. or $P to proceed from the breakpoint. you could then type a couple of carriage returns and expect to get the tops10 dot(s).

if you can type a character and get any response at all, the change is working. without the change, the input was never passed onto the EPT magic locations so eddt/tops10 could never act on it.

your sample shows proof it works, because i don't think you would have been able to produce this (or ANY) output if it had not:
^D?

thank you for your help,

If it and the save file problem are working I will push the changes to the main open-simh repository.

to the best of my knowledge, both issues are resolved.
thanx!
