Only getting the keyboard-/mouseinput from another Atari works quite fine. To try this, you have to do the following things: 1. Connect two Atari's by midi (you need two cables for that) 2. Start Slave.prg on one computer 3. Start Master.prg on the computer 4. Start PEACEBUG.prg on the first computer Now you can control PEACEBUG from the second computer's keyboard. NOTE: never start wo slaves or two masters on the two connected machines! How it works: - If PEACEBUG is started, it checks whether there is a connection bet- ween the two computers or not. If the first case, remote control is immediately turned on. - Slave is a TSR, that checks for the master. It should only be in- stalled, if the midi port isn't used by other programs. It installs a cookie "PREM", so that the debugger can check if there is a conn- ection between the slave and the master. When the connection has es- tablished, it checks, if PEACEBUG is already installed and turns on remote control. - Master is a program, that checks for the slave. If it has found the slave, it cannot be terminated any more. The consequences are: it doesn't matter in which order the three pro- grams are started, it always works. To avoid, that the debugger allo- cates the screenmemory, you should start it after the two other pro- grams.
