The Ultimate Debugger for FoxPro DOS and Windows

RAIDAR is the only development debugger available specifically for FoxPro 2.5 DOS and FoxPro for Windows. Just invoke it from within your running application and go to work! It runs with your application. It allows you to look at the status of memory variables, open tables, indexes, relationships, On Key Labels, procedure calls, and just about anything else that you need to know! RAIDAR even allows you to change the status of virtually anything in your application while it's running!

RAIDAR has the following built-in development and debugging capabilities:

• Look at application memory variables, environment status, procedure stack, memory usage, and On Key Labels for your application at the moment you want.
• Modify FoxPro Screens, Menus, Reports, Labels and Queries from within your running application.
• View and Edit any program file, screen or menu snippet associated with your project. Update either the .PRG, .SCX, or .MNX files. All changes made are reflected in the next project build. Edit several different screen sets and programs while the program is running. Eliminate the yellow legal pad and many cycles of the debug processes.
• Dynamically view structure, contents, indexes, relationships, and filters on all open tables.
• Open the FoxPro Debug and Trace windows.
• Change the values of memory variables while the program is running.
• Run FoxPro commands from a pseudo-command line.
• Hook in your own external routine and run it as a part of Raidar.
• Quit back to FoxPro in a “controlled crash landing.” Close down your files in a gentler manner than "Ctrl-Alt-Del" does when your application freezes up in an endless loop.
• Use only one menu, a maximum of four windows and about 70 memory variables when Raidar is invoked.

Look for these great features in Mac Rubel's latest release of RAIDAR (for FoxPro DOS and Windows Version 2.6):

• Menu Shortcut Keys: Set menu shortcut keys on the most frequently used utilities. You can change the assignments on the fly.
• Enhanced Debugging Support: Save and restore debug sessions to a special DBF located in the RAIDAR Home Directory. You can save any number of debug sessions and recall the one that you want in an instant.
• PHOTO Snapshot: Specify what to include in system snapshots and if output can be saved to archiving text files.
• DISPLAY MEMORY Enhancements: As with PHOTO, Display Memory now lets you specify what is displayed when the option is called. It also lets you save the results to archive text files.
• On Key Labels Handling: View the currently active Event keys, toggle off and on OKLs from the scanned list, rescan the list of OKLs for different places in your application, and reset the original set of OKLs captured when you activated RAIDAR.
• Custom Code when Calling Raidar: Specify special programs to run automatically each time you call a RAIDAR module. This modification to RAIDAR allows you to turn off application functionality that may interfere with debugging when you call RAIDAR and turn it back on when you exit your application.
• RAIDAR Path: RAIDAR no longer needs to be in your path when you use it. Simply specify where it is located in your invocation and RAIDAR will remember where it is.
• Memory Restructuring: RAIDAR creates 3 arrays to handle all housekeeping necessary for the program. We eliminated about 40 memory variables.
• PUSH/POP Menu: RAIDAR now appends itself to the active menu. It no longer PUSHes the active menu onto the stack when it loads. This reduces RAIDAR's memory requirement and eliminates one place where things could get "out of sync" in your application.
• RAIDAR Error Trapping: The RAIDAR error routine is now active only when you are inside a RAIDAR routine. Your own error handler is in force at all other times.
• Calling FoxPro Help: Seamless from within your application, even if you have your own custom help DBF active.
• SBT Pro Accounting: RAIDAR now ships with a special program that creates a SBT Pro Series procedure file browser. The file is automatically integrated into the RAIDAR menu. Now you can find out what G_SELQTY does and what its code looks like without quitting your application. You can also call the browser file from outside RAIDAR!
