WARNING, you can't write a program that takes another arbitrary program as input and tells you whether or not it halts. This is called the halting problem. As far as loop troubleshooting, you may want to use another OS and a debugger to write your program. If the language is truly portable, you should be able to take your debugged program and compile or interpret it in Freedos. Since Freedos probably doesn't protect memory, programming in an environment that does is most likely a good idea. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
