Description:
This is a (very :) small linked library in the object format
for use when debugging exec shared libraries, devices or anything
where you can't use normal stdio functions.
The library is intended for C programmers.
With the library you can open one or more simple console windows
and print formated text strings with some stdio-like functions.
So what good is this you ask?
It is very hard to debug libraries because it is illegal to call
dos.library functions from within a library and you can't use your
compilers source-level debugger either. Therefore you can't know
why your library fails if it has an error.
This linked library uses exec's RawDoFmt() and graphic.library's
Text() to output to a normal intuition window. This is a fairly
safe way to output simple variable values and other text.
