Short:	  Enforcer-like tool without MMU. V1.6

				APurify
				-------

A program that detects illegal memory access of your programs. It needs asm
sourcefile (or reverse-engineering generated sourcefile) and insert code to
check memory access.

It consists  of  a  source  parser  (bin/M?T-APurify),  a  linking  library
(lib/#?APur-#?.#?) and a frontend (bin/APF) to  call  the  parser  and  the
linker automatically.

This archive contains files for APurify v1.6. There are different  versions
of APurify for GCC, PDC, DICE and SAS/C. To install it, you  just  have  to
execute the APurify-Install script. It will install everything for you	and
will even generate a remover script if you want to remove APurify from your
system. If you want to install it by hand, please read the documentation.

For the documentation, consult doc/MIT-APurify.doc for the GCC compiler and
doc/MOT-APurify.doc for other compilers. If you want to use  the  frontend,
read doc/APF.doc. I strongly encourage you to use it. It is simpler to	use
it than making everything by hand.

The source is available from author and is not included in that archive (it
requires around 5.5Mb on my harddisk when compiled :-).

New in this release (see doc/History):

- V1.6: (june 99)
	+ added support for ixemul stdin/stdout/stderr since these are 
	  allocated before APurify is started.
	+ added support for env:APscreen to direct lowlevel requesters
	  onto special screens (eg. GOLDED.1). (Suggestion made by Christian
          Herblot).
	+ modified AREXX/APgolded.ged so that golded uses the same current
	  directory as the APurified executable (Bug reported by C. Herblot).

Happy debugging !

New in this release (see doc/History):

- V1.5:
	+ added some User Interface with the help of some ARexx scripts to
	  interface APurify with GoldEd, Emacs and c:Ed (not very nice the
	  last one, but still better than nothing :)
	+ added installer script.
	+ added code to detect accesses to freed memory.
	+ replace "$%08X" by "0x%08X". Can be modified with ENV:APDOLL.
	+ made the lower bound of the stack block  decrease  automatically.
	  This allow detection of memory accesses below the stack pointer.
	+ added   code	to  handle  $XXXXXXXX(PC)  for  SAS/C  because  the
	  instrumentation of the code modifies the offsets that  are  hard-
	  coded in SAS/C asm file.  (may  be  needed  for  other  compilers
	  too... we'll see).
	+ fixed problem for SAS/C when quotes appear in dc.b '....'.
	+ new test.c. Modified M(I|O)T-Apurify.doc for test.c
	+ made libAPur-gcc.a use dos/System()  instead  of  ixemul/system()
	  so that gcc-compiled programs can use AREXX scripts.
	+ added NOSTRINGMERGE for SAS/C.
	+ added support for ixemul _ctype_ array used in ctype.h: isXXXX().

Happy debugging !
