In order to trace and single-step through ILA's code and data elements at runtime, we have yet another TSR utility : DANILA (Debug Analyser for the Interactive Language Architecture) :) By pressing CTRL-ESC, (or using a second PCI VGA card and monitor) we get a HEX/ASCII sector dump of the datastore, and a continuously-updating register display. Very much like Norton, we can edit any LBA page, sector-by-sector. (There was an Apple ][ utility like this too, I think it was called CIA or something). We can show the opcodes or the raw Hex values, using the "Rounded" VGA font, which has been modified to show the special ::SHE+ILA:: extended ASCII characters ($80_$FF). We can't yet single-step into VM86 virtual interrupt handlers though, as we get a trap (lol). Maybe we'll get round to dooing dat sooon, lol :)
