                               Issue 3.  860305

   >> Vs 2.1 <<

 - BASE <Constant>

   to define an offset to <Address> in connection with DUMP and PATCH.

 - When a program escapes debugger control you may break to the debugger
   to regain control.

 - Programs without line number table may be debugged by refering to
   locations.

Changes:
--------
   >> Vs 5.1 <<
   <Command> ::= <Identifier> [ <Constant> .]  <Constant>
   substituted by
   <Command> ::= GO <Identifier> [ <Constant> .] <Constant>

   >> Vs 4.1 <<

   Workarea is increased to #6500 words

   >> Vs 3.1 <<

   The debugger is rewritten in C.


   >> Vs 2.3 <<

   The module table size is increased to 3200.
   A temporary version (linked as 201) used 1600 and
   the official version 201 used 1600.

Errors corrected:
-----------------

   >> Vs 5.1 <<
 - Display of a variable with name FILL corrected

 - DUMP Constant1 Constant2 now dump the memory locations from the
   given range

 - After a PC-command the WHERE shows the new location

 - DISPLAY <Register> display the register.

   >> Vs 2.1 <<

 - The debugger builds a line number table after a DEBUG command.
   This table was corrupted when one or more sources did not contain
   code (e.g. a prefix file). Then the debugger would loose the ability
   to maneuver especially in single step mode.

 - DUMP commands dumped a word extra.

 - Single stepping in an area with breakpoint(s) might go wrong.

Reported errors, not corrected:
