DCon 1.0 (NEW PRODUCT!): Introduced at Macworld San Francisco, DCon
adds a console window and file logging services to the Mac OS. It
can be used to record and display status and debugging information
during the development. DCon can be called from virtually any code,
any where at any time. DCon does not allocate memory or otherwise
rely on the Mac OS ToolBox. It can be called from interrupt
handlers, Time Manager tasks, VBL tasks, deferred tasks, etc., just
to name a few of the places where DCon really shines. DCon is also
ideal for developers who miss “debugging via printf”, a technique
which is very common on other CLI driven operating systems, but is
not readily available on the Mac OS.

New Product! Special Price, only $34.99! (MACWORLD SPECIAL PRICE!)
